Many apologies

Not totally sure if anyone is actually reading this.  But if you are, I wanted to apologize that I haven't been posting.  It isn't that I haven't been reading, but I fear I am being lazy about the blog.  Still, I really would like to to keep it up.  Any sort of response would help encourage me, though I do want to keep trying no matter what.

Right now I am staffing Ohio's KnowItNow 24x7, an online chat reference service for anyone in the state.  I did some training a couple weeks ago, and today is my first time.  I was talking to a librarian in Dayton who said it was quiet for a Monday, so I hope next week should bring more opportunity.  Still, it is nice to try to hone my reference skills, though the two chats I have taken both got disconnected.  Sadly, since they both seemed to be nice people.

I think part of what makes it hard to do this is that I am then admitting I have time to do it, which is depressing.  The job market for librarians is a bit shaky right now, so finding a job and getting to the interview point is even harder.  Let alone actually getting a job.

I will see about an entry later today.  Maybe for one of the numerous paranormal mystery series I have been reading of late.  Better get back to staffing the service, though there are no users on right now. Au revoir.
