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.
I'm reading! I've been lazy on my blog too, but I promise to comment on each new post to keep you motivated if that will help!
