Title: OT: Luciaphil gets a job!
Post by: Luciaphile on September 04, 2003, 01:50:41 PM: Well, I have a job already, two jobs, but now, now I have been offered and accepted a position as a full-time reference librarian in an academic library.

I'm extremely psyched. It's in my hometown so I don't need to move. I know the people I'll be working with. It's the type of library work I want to be doing.

This, this is a very good thing. It is going to make the student loan folks, those nice people at Visa and Mastercard, assorted others--closer and dearer to my heart, and of course, me very, very happy.

As for those folks to whom you owe money, let them wait a bit longer and go out for a celebratory dinner in your own honor!

Love, Robin

Post by: Happybat on September 04, 2003, 06:55:12 PM: Congratulations from another librarian, Luciaphil! That sounds like a terrific job. I spend most of my time as cataloguer in a membership/research library but put in stints as reference librarian from to time and love doing it, too. Working in an academic library is IMO one of the best choices you can make. Besides the perks of working in a collegial atmosphere, you should also have some measure of job security, which is a good thing to have in these economically challenging times!

So ... I raise my teacup to you in a librarian salute! [read][hello][read]

I agree with a previous post; to get a job in what you enjoy, that's a true blessing.

I'm glad you won't have to travel/relocate too.

All blessings and wisdom Luciaphil.

PS. I hope this attachment comes thru Midnight. If not, let me know what I am doing wrong.

PPS: Thanx so much Midnight and Dom for your help. I just thought this article was
a hoot!

It's an acceptable file size (82KB), as are jpegs, and you did upload the file successfully, but to get it to show up better it'll probably need some trimming. I'll see what I can do.
Title: Re:OT: Luciaphil gets a job!
Post by: Midnite on September 06, 2003, 11:43:11 PM: Okay, MB noticed that the file was saved as .JPG (rather than .jpg) and therefore may not have been recognized, so it's been renamed; also, it needed a lot of trimming but this was the best I could do for now, but hopefully it'll be more readable...

I hope this won't discourage you from posting attachments in the future. You DID upload the image successfully and I'm sure your next attempt will go much more smoothly.
