I haven't written in a long time, I know it. Honestly, so much is happening but I really don't think it would be that interesting to all of you. Most days I go to work, fight with nasty kids, come home, make dinner, watch tv, go to sleep. Repeat. I am always looking for things to do, but happy to stay and hang out with George. Especially now ( Read more... )

Can the end really be in sight? Next week I have to hand in my papers for my independent "research" and my internship report and I've already paid all of my bursar for this semester. PLUS I am almost done with all of my crazy YA specialist training requirements. So...I'm almost a real librarian? weird. I feel like a real librarian when I get ( Read more... )

Someone opened a can of crazy sauce and dumped it all over the Mott Haven Library branch. Most of this afternoon has been people with annoying requests like finding the Daily News from a week and a half ago so they can see if they won with their scratch off numbers. Then they ignore my joke when I say that I want a cut if they win. Which I think ( Read more... )

When I got to the library this morning there was water dripping from the third floor, flooding every floor, including the computers. We are still open but the bathrooms and computers, which are our two biggest attractions are closed. Saturday, which is always slow, is moving at a turtle's pace. But work is still cool, I have all this time to ( Read more... )

A while ago, I got a real journal so I have been slacking off on the livejournal. Sorry about that. Bad news: I have to stay in NYC for the holidays...all of them. John? Do you have to stay too? or did you get Christmas? NYPL is so unfair ( Read more... )

I have the computer set up at my bedroom window a la Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City. NYC is pretty fun and quite an adventure. GZ and I are slowly putting together an apartment, cable and internet have been the most welcome addition. For the last two years I haven't had a tv, and have been forced to beg friends to watch tv "with me" but now ( Read more... )

I got to NYC on Sunday, and it has be grey and drizzly since then. Not the best welcome, but I'll take what I can get. Caitlin and Eric have been so nice letting me crash in their Jersey City pad. Which I did until GZ got to use his friend's West Village pad for the week. I wanted to live the super cool lower west-side life before we pack up for ( Read more... )

Race has been popping up a lot in online blogs. First I find out that Survivor is going to separate the contestants by race (Black, White, Hispanic, and Asian). I don't know what they are trying to prove by this. I think that the Black, Hispanic, and Asian teams should get together and make the White group the social minority on this island. But ( Read more... )

After I handed in a paper and did an online chat this morning I finished my last class ever. Now all I have to do is do my intership, write a paper and pick up my masters degree! No more school ever! That is, until I get my mid-life crisis and have to go back to school to get a business degree or something. Or maybe I'll start working and ( Read more... )
