August 5
Today it was back to the grind. I still say it feels like continuing to go to class even though you've already taken the final. We do have an evaluation to fill out, too.
I spent the entire day processing CDs upstairs in SpecMat. I had only spent about one hour there this week so I thought I should make up some time to make it more equitable. Plus, I missed it a little - not the processing but the listening. I went through quite a bunch today!
Thom, my fellow intern in Recorded Sound, was offered a job at the Library, if you can believe it. It sounds like Gene, my boss, basically created a job for him so he could stay in DC until more permanent jobs open up in like April. This is only like an 8-month, temporary gig and it's a technician job (which therefore doesn't require a MLS) but I still can't believe that Gene was able (and wanted) to manufacture this job for Thom. Personally, I'm thrilled that I only have to work with Thom for three more days; the thought of working with him permanently frightens me. Thom has not completely decided whether he is going to take the job, though. There is a job he's been waiting for in Indiana. It also is a temporary job, though, and would be a 1-year placement. Must be so rough to have everything in life just handed to you...
Anyway, it was my last day with Gene since he's on vacation next week and although he didn't offer me a job, he hugged me and said if I ever needed anything from him like a reference and recommendation that he would definitely help out. He actually did say that if I found myself back in DC or Culpeper in need of a job, he would definitely love to help me out. Anyway, how nice of Gene! I really, really liked Gene. I even daresay I had a small crush on him. Small both because he's married and so it was therefore totally inappropriate and also because he's shorter than me. Heh.
So now there is only one more week at the Library. Next week among the activities planned are the tour of the Library dome, the going-away party and my other boss, Nancy, is going to take me to the National Museum of American History to talk to one of their librarians. I'm psyched about that!
