I get to start on the 11th!!!!  I am so excited!  Everything is starting to come together.

I am the new (temporary) YA librarian at Queen Anne.  I don't start until September 20th though.  I am so excited that I am not sure I can wait that long.  It is a good chance for me to get some experience and make some contacts at SPL.  I will get to work with the legendary Chance Hunt, who met with several of my classes last year.  I have the ( Read more... )

I haven't heard about the job yet, so I guess I wasn't first pick.  There is still a chance for the temporary position.  We'll see.

I am still sick, but feeling much better.  I can sleep through the night and everything, although I wake up feeling like someone poured glue in my mouth.  I can't hear at all out of my left ear, so any talking on that ( Read more... )

I am looking forward to my life going back to "normal."  I don't know if I have ever had what I think of as a normal life, nor will I, with my aversion to long term relationships and having my son live so far away.)  The thing is, I have to stop thinking of the way I live my life as "bad" and stop trying to fix it.  I like being single.  I don't ( Read more... )

I just got a call from KCLS. I made it past the interview and will now be able to take the skills assessment.  They happened to have someone cancel, so I will be able to take it next week--other wise it would have been some time in September ( Read more... )

I keep starting to write something, but then I realize that all I have to talk about are the same complaints that I can't do anything about at the moment ( Read more... )
