You know how people like to say, [insert ridiculous comment], and then, "I bet no one's ever said that sentence before!" Well, I'm doing two things simultaneously that I don't think anyone else has ever done: watching NFL preseason and reading library blogs. Go figure.
I'm reading Swiss Army Librarian (which is pretty much the only librarian blog I can handle) and in a very interesting post the Swiss Army Librarian mentioned that his library has not hired anyone since 08/06. Let me repeat that: AUGUST of TWO THOUSAND AND SIX. In other words, three years ago. Jesus that sucks!
I keep casually mentioning the crazy debt I'm getting into for library school as a big joke, but I honestly have not begun to deal with the reality of those bills coming in my very near future. It's terrifying and may prove to render this whole experiment the biggest mistake of my life. The only ray of hope I see is how happy being at my internship has made me. I feel at home behind the desk and so, so grateful for everything I'm learning. This will be useless and horribly depressing, however, if I can't get a job...
On the NFL front, it's the preseason opener for my Hawks and I couldn't be more excited about the season starting. My lost year in NY still pains me and I'm so glad to be around this year for every game on TV and in person. I certainly won't be taking it for granted!
