I'm back, after a long hiatus. I wasn't gone by choice, really. I've been so busy and so stressed and so being pulled in every direction that it's been hard to find time to reflect. But now, instead of doing the work I should be doing, I'm taking that time.
I found out today that Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams opened up their Chagrin Falls shop(pe). I'm at once excited and homesick. Excited because I love any time my little town is mentioned. I love any time I can see pictures of my home from something other than my flickr stream. But, of course, I'm homesick because its home. It's where all my memories are. It's where I wish I was right now. Or maybe I just wish chagrin was where I am. I have this viseral connection with chagrin. Like its my lantern and I need to be recharged by the falls. once I have money and time, I'll try to get back there at least once a year. Right now, tho, that's not in the cards.
What is in the cards, tho, is librarianship. Which is a little disappointing for me. The thing is, I'm not a custodian of books. I like to think of myself as a legal information specialist. the part of the job i like is the legal analysis. but what i do most is find shit. Which has a purpose. However, today it really annoyed me when a young attorney came looking for a journal article and clearly had no interest in trying to get it himself. Instead, he wanted me to do it for him. because i'm the bitch. how does he have a normal job and i dont? ugh. I dont want that for the rest of forever
however, there are really good things about law librarianship. I just want to ride my bike, have time for long distance tours, but i also want a decent salary.
so i wonder, what can i do with my friends that will make money. surely we can all pull together our talents to something marketable? no?
ok, i really need to get back to work. enough of this for now.
