Job Search and more

As I left my office today, I realized that I was so engrossed in what I was doing that I could have stayed for a few more hours if I wasn't so hungry and my hand wasn't aching.  I liked it that much.  I haven't felt that was about a job in a while, and it's really quite scary.  What happens in the world of animation is you get to loving a job, and then what ever show you are on collapses, finishes, doesn't get green lit, over bids, whatever the case maybe, and then you get laid off.  Everyone says what a great job you did, how much they liked working with you, and as soon as the economy improves, they'll hire you back. (with less pay and no benefits).  So right now I'm in the phase where everything is awesome, and I'm loving it, but I can't help waiting for the other shoe to drop.  This is why I'm trying to get out and into Library Science, but I just love animation, so it's a heart-breaker for me. I hope the economy picks up, and Library's are restored to 7 day weeks, and I'll find that great job out there, but right now today, I'm having a tough time believing it. 

To Hell with Poverty!

Well, this doesn't really count as a library post, but I went to see Gang of Four last night, and they rocked so hard, it was unbelievable.  The audience was as old or older than I, and we screamed and jumped around like it was 1982 again.  I have such strong memories of listening to G of 4 om my giant boom box at the beach, and on my friend Jeanne's bedroom floor, and in my room crying and screaming and dancing. (most of what I felt like in high school). I had more than one mix tape with G of 4 songs on them, and hearing them at the show last night, I was remembering what came next on my tapes after the song played live.
