Relief


D has begun work at The City Library. Part-time, and entry level, but with hope for the future, and a smattering of benefits. We have ordered pizza, sharing it with ND this evening, and enjoying the idea of having a little more income, and taking bites out of the student loans.

And he has a place to go every day, a making, in his words, a real contribution - which he is most happy about. A job in his field, in the middle of a recession. Not that bad.

Is it D's first experience behind a library counter? If so does he restrain himself from looking at the book and the punter and deciding (secretly, of course) that they are ill-matched. I've always imagined this would be what would get me fired if I took up the job.

Hurray! The LWI took a similar position several years ago, worked his way up pretty quickly, and found it very rewarding. Good luck to D!

Thanks for all your kind words. It feels great (and a little odd) to be getting back into the real world again.
