H'm. I've got a co-worker (the person who now has my former job from hell, in fact) who does have an MLS and at least a bit of Westlaw and is desperate to get out of the hell job. I might pass that along to him -- I broke out, and now I feel compelled to keep sneaking spoons and nail files and sundry back to the guy trapped in my old cell. He doesn't deserve to be there. Nobody does.
Saffron: You won't tell anyone about me breaking down? Mal: I won't. Saffron: Then I won't tell anyone how easily I got your gun out of your holster. Mal: I'll take that as a kindness.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I am guessing they will get a ton of unemployed law school grads...
(The librarians won't want to work with them.)

Anyone else ever pay for an online purchase with Paypal, just so you don't have to get up and get your credit card?
Yep. I prefer using Paypal overall.

Hah--I was just thinking of you Sparky (and Lee) because over the weekend one of the people I saw was a friend of mine from drag, who was a lawyer, then went to library school, and now works at the Louisiana Supreme Court library.

information libertarian
I am being tempted. 8-5 and decent pay are very tempting. And I am very smart and can learn stuff fast. Actually my superpower is very very quickly absorbing and synthesizing information. Saying that politely in a cover letter is perhaps tricky.
This morning the truck that delivers books to consortial libraries all across the state crashed into a pastry store a block from the library. The driver may have had a seizure but appears uninjured in the crash; the pastry store has a big hole in it but nobody was hurt; the bins of books seem to be all over the sidewalk, judging from news pictures.

My cats are making it impossible to accomplish anything. They keep sleeping cute on me. The vacuum will not run itself.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Go for it, flea! What's the downside to applying?
Yikes on the crash!

Yay no one was hurt but--oh, the pastries! The books! Two things I love the most, in pain! Sadness.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Busken, or Servatii? (Clearly you can see how often I go downtown.)
t edit And, you know, either one would still be tragic. So I'm mostly asking to get a vicarious tour of downtown. Or at least that corner.
