I know! I was the same. You make the third person I found to gush about them with, so now I'm happy. No one in real life has to listen to me go on and on and on. (Well, except for my friend, flickguy, but we became friends through a mutual love of fandom 21 years ago, so he doesn't count.)
Thanks for your email address. :) I'll probably switch to that from PM because I like the freedom to not be logged in when I answer.
As an acquisitions clerk, I didn't get to pick out what was ordered (the librarians did that), but I got to order *all* of the materials (AV, books, audiobooks, magazines, fiction, non fiction, realia (we didn't have much of that), you name it) and keep track of the budget (which scared me to death because I'd never done it before). The best thing about it is that when the orders came in, it was just like Christmas. I got to be the first one to see every new thing that came in for all 13 libraries. It was awesome! The only problem I had there was that everyone who worked there had been there for at least ten years so they were all stuck in their ways and impatient with someone new who wasn't quite sure what she was doing yet. I lived in terror that I'd make some awful mistake.
