Fessing up

So I'm job no. 4--if I'm actually doing the tasks of job, it must be official, right?

I've been hired to take over for my supervisor, who left for CA, lucky stiff!

So I'm gainfully employed!

His mother was a jack- !

So, apparently I'm the only one who procrastinates anymore.

This one's for you future children's librarians. Maybe those of you who loved Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy already know that there's a Golden Compass movie coming out this winter. And I know that the movie is always always worse than the book when it comes to beloved children's classics. Still, the website is worth checking out because (and I know you won't judge me for this), you can take a quiz and meet your daemon!

Mine is jackal, which apparently means that I am solitary, spontaneous, clever and shy. Also a scavenger who, according to Wikipedia, marks its territory with urine and feces. Go figure. Alright, enjoy procrastinators.

p.s. If the title of this post makes no sense to you, you should know that in the movie The Omen, a jackal gives birth to the Anti-Christ.

Lukewarm Fuzz

So, you can probably tell that I'm doing absolutely everything in my power NOT to revise my paper right now, but I have to tell everyone that Annie and I saw Hot Fuzz last night (a movie I was totally jazzed about) and I was, sadly, disappointed. I mean, that scene in Sean of the Dead when they are beating zombies with pool cues to the tune of Killer Queen, well, that ranks among my top 10 comedy screen moments of all time, so I was expecting good things from Simon Pegg.

So I had to reassure myself after that only-slightly-funny debacle that I still found him funny and charming. I decided to revisit his gem of a show Spaced...which I think was from 2000. Anyway, it's totally funny and I recommend investing the necessary time to YouTube at least a couple episodes. So check it out if you're bored and indulging in procrastination (for which I applaud you).

Three?

Come on now, SLIS bloggers. Two of you have bumped up the official job count without letting us know who you are or what the job is. YOU MUST GIVE US DETAILS! HOW ELSE CAN WE HAVE HOPE?

Time to "out" yourselves, #2 and #3!

Who's #2?

Fess up, bitches. Whom can we congratulate for landing the second job? I think y'all should post announcements for these glorious victories.
Oh, and as a consolation to the unemployed come summer: my husband, who also looks to be jobless soon, says anyone who wants to go sailing on Lake Mendota is welcome to join him. Just bring beer.

Happy Hour Tonight

ALA-SC and Hoofers are co-sponsoring the GSC happy hour tonight at the terrace (or inside if it starts to rain). Come out and have beers and meet sailors.

this sounds disgusting

Check out this recipe for a Kamikazini. Grapefruit vodka and olives. Ish.

(Yes, this is a completely gratuitous post. I want to see the "grapefruit vodka" label in our cloud grow and I can't do homework no mo'.)
