ell, I didn't get the full time job that I applied for at the library. Apparently I've improved in my interviewing since the last one I did at the library and I was a strong candidate but someone else was better. I think waiting to find out about this has been quietly stressing me out since the interview which was about a month ago.
Now I know and ugh, time to take my nice looking resume and start applying to other libraries since while I love this library. I don't know if there's ever going to be more than a part-time place for me. I know the new budget comes out in July and they want to do more hours for people but I hate waiting and hoping. And I'm feeling especially useless as with the budget not there, there's very little to do down in processing so I feel more stuck. I don't mind Tech Services but I know its not the best fit for me in the long run. I'm not as meticulous as I could be with some aspects and I need the social parts of the desk.
Not really how I wanted to start my birthday week but then this whole last week has been a lot. I stayed up far too late last weekend watching all of EXU: Calamity as I've fallen into the Critical Role hole. So before the Monday holiday, I didn't get enough sleep which messed with the rest of my week and it also ended up being stupidly hot.
Work was okay but the lack of sleep left me feeling not my best. That was kind of annoying as on Thursday, I had a get together for my NZ university and I had planned to go to the Aquarium beforehand. The weather and air and everything was hot and heavy so while I had a good time, I ended up feeling completely exhausted by all of it.
I'm glad that with my birthday coming up, I'm getting some time off and will have more in July.
