Alas poor archives, I knew you well

And just like that, I am done (at least for the moment) with my archives project. I've spent the past few evenings pulling together a functionally searchable container list and writing up a finding aid, which I have just sent off to my director. At some point, she claims that she wants me to put together a presentation explaining/justifying my function as the center's archivist, at which time she'll re-evaluate whether or not to continue with the project. The summer months are usually a little bit hectic, so I don't expect to have to put that presentation together too soon.

I'm glad I got it all done, even if I didn't really want to end the project. If nothing else, I now have two projects (the other one from my internship) to put on my resume. Which I need to spruce up and start sending out again. I heard from my student loan people today and they are not too pleased with the lack of progress I've made paying them off.

Whew! Now you can rest a bit. Hope your pain is betting better.

Thanks. I'm hopeful that three days with no kids to wrangle will do my arm a world of good.

I heard of a childrens' librarian job in NH the other day; pay range was from $23-35/hour. I know that's not the area you want to be in, but I still thought of you.

Hope you find something awesome!
=D

Sadly, at this point I don't think I can afford to be too picky about the area I work in. :(

Congratulations on completing that project and on your resolve to update the resume and start sending it out again! *Sends virtual confidence and best wishes*

Now I just have to follow through. :(

Completion is such sweet sorrow?

Yeah, exactly.
