I got the job!

[magenta]

I interviewed for a job last Friday, the 13th. Yesterday, I got the phone call; I formally accepted it this morning.

Starting Sept 1st, I am the Serials Assistant at Hamline University Library. The job is similar to what I was doing at Minneapolis Public, except that I will deal with the journals and magazines rather than books. It's 40 hours a week, more than I was working before. The pay is a little less, but it sounds like the benefits are better, and all the people I interviewed with and talked with seem really nice.

Now I have to do all kinds of things like get a check-up, since I am due for one, and don't want to take time off in the first few weeks. I need to get the oil changed in the car, and stock up on easy to cook groceries.

Well, summer vacation is over. It was fun. But having money to spend will also be fun.

I am excited and scared and nervous and hopeful. All at once.

Do you use Innovative's Millennium programs at your library? I'm going to be looking for people to network with; I think I am going to be a one-person Serials department. Or do you just sit at the reference desk and l/o/o/k/ p/r/e/t/t/y deal with stupid parent tricks?

We do not use Millennium programs, for we are vastly untechnological. We still run Windows 98, and 95 on some of our computers. And I think our network services people would throw a fit if we talked to them about networking outside our standard public library systems :(

And I'll have you know that I both look pretty and deal with stupid parent tricks. I am woman, see me multitask!

Wow! Congratulations!
