A dream is a wish your heart makes

Hello my tens of readers! I have exciting news!

I think I got a new job. A nice lady from the King County Library System's human resources department called me and said they'd like me come work for them as a children's librarian. Can you believe it? Is this really happening? I told her I would love to have that job. Then I hung up and checked my caller ID to make sure it was really from KCLS. IT WAS. OMG.

So after eleven months (I'm often told by Jeff et. al., this is not really that long to wait, but it felt like a really long time) of applications, resumes, cover letters, phone interviews, skills assessments, and group interviews I've finally landed the job I wanted when I started library school. I'm so happy, I could spend the next several days (or years) bursting into song and smiling at strangers. In fact, I will soon be paid to do that at story times.

As soon as my 90-day probationary period is up, I'm going to start planning that librarian tattoo I've been talking about. 4 reals. The "shhh" tat is out, though, because not just one but TWO pop stars already have it.

Spring is here!

One thing I forgot about college campuses? On the first warm day of the year the unofficial dress code becomes like half a step removed from that of a beach. It's only 65 degrees and the girls are wearing tank tops and and shorts small enough to fit my baby niece.

They look cold, but happy.

And, speaking of fashion, don't forget to vote in the Fug Madness Final! SWINTON!
