But otherwise, if there isn't a vast improvement in either pay or hours... dunno.

(also experimenting with fonts in the name field is a pain! :(...)

Have come to realise that I really don't mind working in a library, and will sign a contract to stay. However, my lack of ambition depresses me and not having an information management MA is annoying, even though I think I'm qualified and have an MA in a related area.
Oh, boo, gotta make a plan.

Hey, like me. ;-) But I just don't want to deal with grad school again, really, and as it is I'm starting to ponder various options elsewhere...maybe.

hey Ned, what are these options you are pondering? (just being nosey!)
don't think I could stand going back to uni again!

Well, this is all very vague -- my manager just gave his notice recently and I'm thinking of applying for the job, though I'm not counting on getting it. If I don't get it, and since I'm really grinding my wheels here at present otherwise (Reserves work is now down to a fine art and there's not much else to immediately change or revise if the budgets don't suddenly improve), I'll probably start looking for other work around and about later in the academic year, both on campus and off. I'd like to see what more I can do with music writing and writing in particular, and have talked with a few folks about that, and am currently thinking of doing more writing for a local publication, as well as starting seriously to look into getting some fiction published. So it's a bit of a ferment at present, and combined with some other private matters, I've had to do some fairly heavy thinking. I'm looking forward to the Chameleons next week because among many other things it'll just be a pleasure to go see a great band get some energy out, and I think I need that release! Though at the same time Mark Burgess will doubtless (and deservedly so) make reference to that creeping horror of a war that seems inevitable now over in Iraq, which is a situation that has left me completely paralyzed with worry more than once this year already. Mm...
