We're here!


We've moved to London and we've unpacked almost all our boxes. Things are slowly coming together in the apartment and the festive bush is out of the box and decorated. Otherwise, things are slow. Work is the same old stuff everyday. I heard today that there were 5 candidates chosen to be interviewed for 2 positions. Obviously I wasn't one of them. Neither were the other new Librarians here currently not working as librarians. I was told that they have been applying elsewhere because they are tired of sitting around here not being librarians. I don't blame them but I purposely came here in an attempt to move my way up....hopefully that is soon (as in the next 6 months). There are more positions that need to be filled so we'll see.

We still don't have a car and London sucks without a car so I'll keep being annoyed at transit and anti-social for who knows how long. I am looking foward to my big break from work. I work until noon on the 22nd and then I'm not back until Jan 2. The university does have its perks....librarian or not.

I initially posted so I could rant about all the people getting their panties in a knot because once again there is an "attack" on Christmas. I was going to go on about how christ cannot be forced upon everyone who recognizes december as a festive month but it's alomost 6pm and I'm running out of steam......

later

Go ahead, rant away!

Glad to hear you're all settled in, although without suitable transportation. It'll come, just as your big break will.

Hope you two have a happy and hearty holiday season. Hi to Myles!
