Sometimes I cry when I think about the good fortune that's happened to me. I work hard and I feel things deeply, probably sometimes to a fault. So, maybe the hard work is part of it, but fortune and luck are certainly the case when it comes to the friends I've made over the last few years. Anyway, now is one of those times, cause I'm kinda crying.

I never thought I'd be a librarian, I've met so many of you now in person and you continue to be forthcoming, and giving, and for someone who can be insecure, and questioning, and just wants to do good work, I am just humbled by it all, so if I haven't shown any thanks or appreciation, let that stop now. I am incredibly grateful and it has meant everything.

From January to...uh, last month? I thought I was losing my mind. I applied for so many jobs and couldn't even get an interview. I was planning on heading back to California and staying on my cousin's sofa. I felt like I'd done all this work in vain. New Orleans is known for a lot of things but their infrastructure post-Katrina is STILL a hot mess. I feel like I'd learned so much, done so much with so little and it meant...nothing. I had crazy advisors, questionable supervisors, classes that were out of date and a lot of you got me through that. And you are STILL getting me through this move to DC. Sigh. I'm totally rambling but there you go.

in 2005, I went to a conference panel at ACRL that indicated that the *average* academic library job search was 6 months long. I doubt much has changed since then -- and if it has changed, it's probably for the worse. it ain't you, hon, it's the job market being the cast-iron bitch it always is. if you had any remaining doubts.

I applied for so many jobs, all over the country; I stopped counting at around fifty. And I had three interviews. But I think I found the right job, or maybe it found me. I haven't started yet and I already feel like it's home. So maybe all of this, all of the blood sweat and tears have been worth it. That I had to get through this boot camp and ugly and drama to be where I am supposed to be? I guess we'll see. And again, thanks for listening. To this thread of rambling and for all of the other times as well.

I'm glad you're a librarian -- you'll be great with the students.
