I've been avoiding you, dear blog of mine. But today I am back to inform you that...
I have my very first library job!
It pays no money.
It's 3 hours a week.
It's the love of my life. (Or so I hope)
Starting on Tuesday, I will be working the reference/circulation desk at Hale Library from 7 to 10pm.
I have high hopes for this volunteer position. So high in fact, that it is replacing Stimulus Tuesday. Instead of dollar popcorn, I will be getting a free education on the basics of the reference interview, circulation, database queries and so much more.
I refuse to let robots control the reference desk. Instead, unpaid volunteers will devote all of their spare time toward helping you find the research you need.
It feels great to finally have a foot in the door.

If my first library job isn't enough to turn that frown upside down, here's a list of other happy things in the world this week:
1. This guy thinks the 'Cats will be victorious this weekend, and my aching heart is happy to agree.
2. Jim and Pam are getting married tonight. If you're not loving this season, you're not paying attention.
3.Big 12 North showdown on Thursday night? God bless America.
4. Toy Story and Toy Story 2 double feature in 3D. Sneak in snacks, wear your pajamas, bring a blanket and laugh til you're silly.
