My last day of clerkwork is October 10th, my first day of newwork is November 3. I need to take advantage of and enjoy my vacation. What shall I  do? I will spend some time in NYC with Louie and wandering by myself, some time in Philly with my parents and wandering by myself, some time shopping for newwork clothes. What else shall I do, when no one ( Read more... )

It seems as though when I don't feel I have outside forces changing and improving me, I need to do it myself. I'm on a crash course of reading constantly, different things, trying to improve my "education" (hey, as a librarian, reading a lot of fiction is still education), studying to get my learners permit, I'm going to learn how to knit ( Read more... )

People tell me stories. I've always had a look about me that got people to talk to me on the street, I guess I seem approachable, I'm always getting stopped to say that they like my bag or my coat, that it's a nice day out, or that the grocery store is busy today. Whatever. But, as a librarian, I get it even MORE. People are talky, I think some are ( Read more... )

Someday, hopefully someday soon, I will either fix or replace my computer. And I will buy a car and be able to afford insurance. Then, I will ignore bad commutes and apply for perfect teen librarian jobs that come up. I think this part time job is good for me right now, because becoming an actual librarian who is head of the department right away ( Read more... )

If I could afford/fit into a Betsey Johnson dress, they would be perfect for the engagement photos ( Read more... )

Dear Children:
Riding bikes in the library? No thanks.
