Dreams Do Come True

I have such a fabulous reason for not having blogged regularly. I have a job. Actually I have many jobs but the job I am referring to in this instance is a paying job. This isn't just any old job either. I am now employed (very part time) at the Springville Public Library. It is such a great place to work. I feel like Brer Rabbit being thrown into the briar patch. "Don't you throw me in that briar patch!" I know that I looked positively, ridiculously happy the whole time that I was being trained. I really have to make a concious effort to not look overjoyed which actually doesn't work well because my efforts to not look too happy just result in me looking sort of goofy.
One of the ladies that has worked for the library said "I know you from the other side" which another one of the librarians mistook as some weird reference to us knowing eachother in some previous existence but she was just referring to the other side of the check out desk.
I was hired as a substitute clerk so I fill in when someone is sick or out of town which is just perfect. I am entertaining big plans of a master's degree in library sciences someday but for now I have my foot in the library door and it feels pretty good. These are the actual statues by the entrance to
the Springville City Library.
