After nearly a dozen interviews, eight months as a substitute and umpteen books checked in and shelved, today I had yet another interview at 9:30 am during an 8-3:30 shift. At 2:30 they called me into the supervisor’s office to tell me I am hired. YAY. Naomi, the human resources lady will e-mail me when she has the paperwork ready for me to come sign and my hire date/start date is Sunday July 1st. I will be working every Sunday, Monday and Friday and alternating Thursdays and Saturdays. Thrilled that I will have set schedule and dependable hours and health insurance and retirement and vacations.
No book review today, instead I am plugging a few blogs recently added to my list:
Nina Munteanu is just your basic next door neighbor alien. She is also an educator and a scientist and a writer based in BC. The Alien Nextdoor covers a wide range of subjects with a unique perspective.
Towel Road is a gay news site that is frequently updated and very well produced. Worth a daily visit to keep up on news you won’t see in the MSM. Thanks to JoyZeeBoy for the intro to this one.
Unshelved is a daily comic strip centering around the life of Dewey, a lazy librarian and his coworkers and patrons at the Mallville Public Library. It is often quite funny even if you don’t work in a library.
