I’m almost absolutely convinced of it.

A few weeks ago my old boss was invited to talk about archives and the public record for a local Rotary Club. She was rewarded with very nice pen. “Reaping the rewards of library school,” she called it.

My friends, lurkers, and net-junkies I too am about to reap the rewards of which she spoke! Beginning March 2nd, 2009 I be a Librarian for the Missouri Department of Transportation. And, with weeks I suspect that my solo Rap career will take off given my newfound street cred. 2Pac! Biggie! 50 Cent! Weird AL! Watch out! I’m about to get bibliographic up in here.

Needless to say I am very excited.

My apologies for not being hurry-hurry with my next installment of the Flash series but yours truly is occupied with a full blown job search. That said, I think I have an a promising lead. Off in the far away land of Independence, Iowa a woman was recently arrested for not returning a library book. That’s right! She wasn‘t reported to a collections agency. She was flat-out arrested. Seeing as the city of Independence will no doubt be out of a Library Director – or more than likely a fall guy librarian – I propose that they select me as the next replacement.

I promise! I won’t arrest anyone for keeping inspirational books about a teacher’s quest to inspire students to write. Suddenly e-books sound a little more promising than usual.
