I am quite excited to announce that starting april 11th, I'll be employed at the victoria university library! I was starting to become a bit bitter about going so long without even an interview. And then when I got my first library interview, but didn't get the job, I was heartbroken. Almost a week later, I got a call back regarding this position. After our whirlwind trip to the South Island (we returned on Sunday), I interviewed on monday. Tuesday evening, I heard the good news.
Most people seem to think that unemployment is awful. It wasn't. I have tons of hobbies, and I'm good at entertaining myself in general, so it was amazing. It was fun to get tons of sleep, lazy mornings with coffee. And then knitting, genealogy, sewing, cooking, or running. But it is nice to not have to worry about blowing my entire life savings. And the fact that its a library job, something i am truly passionate about, is icing on the cake.
With every new job there is a learning period. Trying to remember everyone's names, getting your log on info, where things are, etc. There are forms to fill out, and pictures to take, etc. It's a bit of a headache to begin with, but i'm excited to jump in and get started.
Hey Barbs, this post makes me kind-of sad having met you at the end of your time here and knowing your thoughts then! I know everybody was so glad to have worked with you!
