It's been snowing steadily all day and there's basically no accumulation. Very strange.
My interview went ok. I think the biggest problem is my lack of public library experience. It was really hard to talk about my work experience without everything being, "when I was at X academic library..." since that is the experience I have. They asked me how I felt about the atmosphere, which seemed like code for "you noticed 80% of the people in the building today are homeless or unemployed guys who have no place to go, right?" Yes, I did, and I did wonder if some of the staff are DYING for a question about, like, 17th century French poetry sometimes, and if I would be one of them in a couple of years.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just got back from my interview at Sony (Shout out to my interview sister, Flea). It was with one person there and one skyping in from Vancouver. I think the US person dug me, but the Canadian person didn't. Not really crossing my fingers on this one.

One of the oddities of the job I interviewed for today is I would accept passport applications. Apparently the library is the only place in the city that does them, for some reason, so they do it all day long and everyone on the team is deputized to be able to do it.

The Georgia State library had its share of homeless and unemployed guys, at least back when I was spending time there. There was one older man who spent every day in the reference room, either reading or dozing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's so weird -- doesn't that happen at the post office?
Good luck getting jobs you want, you guys!!

In Athens we had a few homeless regulars in the library, and Ort (legendary music and beer enthusiast and raconteur), and pairs of Mormon missionaries. But it's a small enough town that you get to know your homeless pretty fast.

Everyone who doesn't like the cold spring weather can send it to me, where I will gladly enjoy it into July if possible. I sleep better when it's cold out, and am getting more wear out of my winter wardrobe in March than I did in December.

Because books.
I keep having to deal with one particularly troublesome writer, and I just made a noise that, I swear, sounded like Lurch. (Without meaning to!)
