I have a friend who is a music librarian at Champaign-Urbana, if you end up there. She lived in the triangle when we did. It seems like a nice community, although I gather there has been some fuckery with state pensions (which is sadly par for the course in most states at this point, no?)
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

That's good to know, flea (both the friend and the pension info). Depending on how they classify it, this may be a job where you get a pension in lieu of social security contributions. Which only works if the pension is still funded properly in 20 years. cf Detroit pensioners.

My job is state pension instead of social security. Another reason I do not plan a long career at my current workplace.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
If you're going sleep-deprived, having the reason for it be dancing seems righteous to me.
Truth.
Good luck, Calli!
FTR, I did not get home in time to do anything other than feed the cats and collapse yesterday. Good day, though. Got to tour, among other sites, the Masonic Temple, which is a gorgeous art deco building full of secrets. Fun!

Calli, do you know cereta? P. sure she's in the area and would know any other fannish people around.
Good luck!

Thanks, Shrift! I believe I follow her but not vice versa. Still, good to know. If there's a critical mass of fangirls in the area, that would be great.

I still don't do Sundays, despite best laid plans. I kept going back to bed...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I walked down to the corner to see the parade, and it was great! And apparently done just as I was thinking I should come back to move my laundry and get ready to go apple picking. Perfect!

The status is NOT quo.
Sarameg, sing it sister. I've been up for hours and yet haven't gotten out of bed. Which is a problem given I have to be at my school for an open house in less than two hours.
