It's been nine months since I've been here. I moved in and really didn't even bother to settle in before leaving again.
Basically I am here because I am bored beyond belief at work. I've been in the same position for 3 years (actually 8 days short of 3 years) and in that time have become the senior most person in the office based solely on being the only one who hasn't moved on. The turn over here is crazy and I don't blame any of them for leaving. I've been trying to escape the last 2.5 years but then the market crashed and no one is hiring. Well they are, they just aren't hiring librarians. Really, who needs a librarian any more? Certainly not the government agency where I work.
Okay that is a half lie. There are a lot of librarians here, and 98% of us are really good at what we do, it's just so far what we should be doing or we are qualified to be doing. People complain about government waste, over paid and under productive employees etc and I can vouch for most of that. I can't say I am over paid because I can barely make ends meet and I am not living a life of excess. I will admit to being under productive. There are a hundred things I would like to be doing. Days go faster when I'm busy but I am forced to play the waiting game or get my hands slapped for trying to do something that isn't my responsibility. Frustrating much? So for the 3rd day in a row I am here straighting files, reading Twitter, IMDB, catching up on some creative writing and hoping someone response to one of the 300 actions I am waiting on.
Since there isn't much else happening I thought I would stop in, check it out, maybe write something down. I noticed today I was 'followed' by 21 'people'. Spammers. I blocked them. I poked around and realized there is really no where to meet people or catch random blog postings. Do people still even blog any more? I am pretty sure I bitched about the lack of QotD the last time, but I will say it again. WTF happened to QotD?? At least give me a reason to come back.
In the last 9 months there was Thanksgiving - boring, Christmas - went home for 3 weeks, New Years - didn't get kissed, Valentine's day - still no smoochies, Mother's day - bought Mom an awesome KitchenAid 600 Pro and made Daughter of the Year, interviewed for a job, was offered a position, still waiting for an opening, and I FINALLY met my Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure goal (3rd time is a charm) and now here we are.
I have done a lot of reading this year. My Shelfari says I have read 20 books this year, ahead of my count last year. Haven't seen any new movies but I have decided to catch up on all the TV I have missed for various reasons. I have turned into a complete TV junkie this year. Got sucked into Breakout Kings, rediscovered my love of Bones, still crushing on Criminal Minds despite the disaster of a season they've had, got sucked into Vampire Diaries - which I am giving up next season because I just can't deal with it any more, and now White Collar is back. With Netflix I am going to pick up CSI wherever I left off, going to try Psych, Kings, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Merlin season 2, Flashpoint, and Carnivale. I am prepared for a summer of couch potatoeness and it will be awesome. Any other recommendations to try out?
Maybe I will try blogging for a summer activity.
