Woah, is it Friday already? How did that happen? I’ve had one of those weeks where things started in low then they started to grow.* In fact, I can’t even remember what happened this week. But I think it was all good things: talking about the library meetings last weekend, thinking about volunteering for a library association committee, getting close to finishing a big project at work, and using my day off to clean the whole house, which sorely needed it.<\/p>\n
* I got How the Grinch Stole Christmas (DVD) for xmas. Yes, that’s right, not Gus, ME. Because it’s a good video! And now Gus understands why we read the book with Boris Karloff voices.<\/p>\n
Maybe I’ve got subway lag. This morning I went to an interesting panel discussion on privacy + libraries. It was waaaaaay up in the top of the Bronx, a lovely campus and a nice subway ride (with some beautiful mosaics<\/a> in the station). If a LONG subway ride — 90 min. each way.<\/p>\n As one of my rules in this whole job hunting adventure I’ve set myself a one hr. each way commuting maximum, public transit only (boo car!). Which is kind of a drag, because there are some good college libraries out there beyond that limit. On the other hand, it is frankly draining to commute for 90 minutes, even if you are lucky enough to get a seat fairly early on in the process.<\/p>\n
