First job, actually 😀
I managed to get a coveted position in the Inter-Library Loan department of my university’s library (how did I manage this with no real job experienc? the world may never know…) We trade books with other libraries and universities all over the world, which I think is really cool. I feel like by doing this job I will actually be making a difference to somebody, if they need a certain book or article for their schooling and I can help them get it. Yeah, it’s not much in the grand scheme of things, but I feel good knowing I’m helping fellow students out 🙂
Today was my first day on the job and I think I will like it. Luckily the most vexing thing I had to tackle was the paper cutter (my lovely nice new coworkers laughed at me for not having the brute strength to slice a lot of paper at once, ha ha, let’s all laugh at the shrimpy girl…).
This morning when I clocked in for the first time all I could think of when I swiped my (new and improved!) student badge was “Swipey means money… money means LE flap cat… Guinea pig… more PYO’s… VF spectrals… IVEP Secret Keeper…!” *drool drool* 😆 But really, I got the job to help cover book money once class starts.
Or did I…? 8) Come on, extra hours and cheap textbooks!

Oh yeah… 8) Haha, I think my mother suspects though. I should just tell our UPS guy to deliver all packages to the back deck, so I will find them first.

Sneaky, Sneaky. 😆August 2, 2007 at 11:26 pm #604911Congratulations!!! Working at a university is great. Your fellow employees are students that you can talk to, your boss understands that you have classes and homework to do, plus the pay is usually better than what you can find working at a fast food joint.
Good luck with your new job, I think you’ll love it.
I would help but I am just to tired to get out of bed today~

While hiding somewhere in my head I'm on the lookout for white oriental dragons! Please let me know if you know of any available. Thank you!
August 3, 2007 at 6:43 am #604915Congrats! That is a wonderful job! I have needed a book before and a person just like you made my week! 😀
