A shiny new piece of paper
Sep. 28th, 2007 11:08 pmMy diploma arrived today. Yay! One more step in feeling like I really do have that MLIS degree.
Now if I could just put the thing to good use. To that end, I took another small babystep forward in the job search arena, by actually looking at some job listings. The CMU job posting webpage is down for servicing, I didn't even check Pitt, but I looked at a couple of other places and bookmarked a few jobs to check out more thoroughly. Top of the list at the moment is a job at the University of Alaska, Anchorage. It would be a huge pay raise, even with an increased cost of living. But it would mean moving to Alaska, and that is not exactly my dream home. I will probably apply, however, just to start getting a feel for what people want to see, how my resume stacks up, etc.
I took a ride in a Prius today. Fancy! No-key ignition is very cool, as is the display panel that shows the view out the back when the car is in reverse, exactly how much fuel comes from gas/battery, etc. And apparently the battery now comes with a 100,000 mile guarantee, so that's no longer such a concern. Not a car I'll be able to afford any time in the conceivable future, but pretty cool, nonetheless.
