Spring Break

So, who else is in town for spring break?

I've got to work, do my practicum, and work some more, but I should have time to meet up with other hardworking librarians who want to go out, watch a movie, play a game, etc.

unsolicited rejection

Here's a a story in keeping with my current employment status (I think I'm the only one updating the rejection count in our banner): a funny post from Siva Vaidhyanathan's (NYU professor; used to teach at SLIS) blog. He got a rejection letter for a job he didn't even apply for!

I see your Federsearch, and raise you....

Meatloaf!

(And I totally won a sweepstakes entry....)

And in case the Beer Belly isn't a covert enough booze smuggling tool, I present: the DRAM!

Contribute to the SLIS Silent Auction

Hi Friends!

So forgive me for using this as a forum to plug work-related events, but I wanted to encourage all of you (well, those of you in the area at least) to donate to the SLIS Silent Auction this year. It's a great way that you can help out the library! I know from being in management class with some of you this fall that there are plenty of things that bug you about this library, but most of those things can't be fixed if we can't raise the funds to address them!

I know we're a crafty bunch, and the silent auction is a good chance to show off your skills. Show your library some support and drop off crafts, slightly used items, or promises of services at the library circ desk. (I've already been promised a lucrative bid if I put cello lessons on the table!)

Not in a giving mood? Bidding begins Friday April 13th and continues through Thursday April 19th, so you can bid on the quality goods your fellow librarians contribute!

Okay, no more work promotion for me; I've done my part!

Yea, Pictures!

fast like a ninja

Move over dictionary.com, there's a new kid in town (new to me, in any case). I'd like to point out my new favorite website: Ninjawords. It's a really cool program, so pretty and simple; however, the definitions come from a "wiktionary" so don't go citing this shit anywhere important.

Vote Bitches, Part II

It's election time again and here is your friendly reminder to get out there and do your thang. The April election falls over Spring Break so if you are going out of town be sure to vote early. All you have to do is walk into the city clerk's office and vote away. Here is the link to the city clerk's office for more information on where to vote or how to vote absentee.
