We got a new temporary night reference librarian this week. His name is Don and so far he seems like a pretty cool guy. I'd guess he's in his late forties to early fifties, he lives on 71st street, and this little part time gig is the first work he's had in 8 months. He had to quit his last job because his father was having health problems and they wouldn't let him take time off to be with him. Says he hopes this temp position will go permanent. As of now I'll say that I wouldn't mind that. He's a nice guy, the students are taking very well to him, he's good with computers, and he knows his shit. The man is a breath of fresh air after working with Lymon.
Also on the job front, Elisabeth left a message on my machine yesterday informing me that she landed her first post graduate job!!! YAY!!!! It only took her took her two months. It took me three. I told her she had better job hunting skills than me. Haven't gotten a chance to call her back yet so I don't know what the position is but I know she started today. I'll probably try calling her when I get home tonight.
And everyone at work is still insane. Elisabete is getting deep into the renovation planning so she's been tense. Carol has been on my case but that's nothing new. Wants me to be more slave driver-ish towards the student workers which I flat out refuse to do. As long as they shelve the books and fix the copier when it breaks I'm not gonna make up shit work for them to waste their time on.
I sent out Other Mike's birthday present on Monday. I can't wait for him to get it. I hope he likes it.
