#Gypsy4Board?
YES!
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Zenkitty - I'm also a librarian and work in an academic library so I can chat with her about that side of things. The public/customer service side is also very important as is the getting to know your community, but the community is more focused that that of a public library. We do have a fair number of back-office positions, some that are very technical and require extensive experience, so there's a wide range of opportunities.
I also second the getting of volunteer experience - I volunteered with my high school library and then worked part-time in college. It really helped in figuring out which aspects of librarianship I was NOT interested in. Never doing Acquisitions again.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thanks, bennett! Hey, we have more librarians than I realized.

BTW, Zen, were you still interested in those Buffy DVDs? I've got S2 and 3.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Thanks, -t. They've been doing some restructuring, and I have the feeling they may try to get me to take a supervisory position. I have worked out my response, if that happens: "Ok, but I want at least a $3/hr. pay increase. $1 to bring my pay up closer to what it should be and $2 for the additional work it's going to be. Oh, and time spent on direct care does NOT overlap with admin. time. I want that part in writing."

Good. Stick to your guns.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Excellent response, WS. Good thinking to plan it in advance so they don't catch you flatfooted.

I think I have less ability to stop eating trail mix when I am inside sitting in front of a computer than when I am outside actually hiking and whatnot. Bringing a quart bag to nosh on as my lunch may have been a mistake.

Dang, I just went up and down the stairs twice and I feel like I have lost all my conditioning. HR is up, I'm breathing heavy. That didn't take long.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Getting my home office set-up upstairs means I'm running up and down the stairs multiple times a day. It is getting easier and easier each time.
