More Procrastination

Yup, definitely should be working on my final project for grad school during my lunch hour, but that's absolutely not going to happen. Instead, I think I'll spend my lunch hour extolling the virtues of my new job, which include but are not limited to:



  • Higher pay (duh)
  • My own office (nevermind that it's the smallest in the department!)
  • Windows (2 of them!)
  • A closet (which happened to come with 3 men's suit jackets)
  • Flex hours
  • I can play music in my office. As in my own music, not the crappy stuff on the radio station that gets played throughout the rest of the courthouse!
  • Mileage reimbursement
  • The opportunity to be promoted on my own merit, instead of waiting for vacancies in other departments.
  • A door to close when I don't feel like being bothered
  • Fantastic coworkers who actually get me (though I don't know exactly what that says about them!)

Yup, I think I'm going to like this job. Still going to keep my eyes open for full-time library jobs of course, but this is certainly not a bad place to be in the meantime!

And on a completely unrelated note, I was looking into getting new speakers for my computer at work since my current speakers are old and don't work very well. And I came across these:

Awesome, right? Probably not exactly high-quality though... Maybe I'll go for something a bit more practical. ;-)
