I passed! and I did it with flying colors. That means that I'm amazing!....or i'm really good at faking it! We'll see.

I also started my new library job this week. It has been an amazing [easy/awkward] first few days. I think what I'm going to be doing will really get me introduced to the work of a public librarian. So far it's been great! The public library has a lot more hoops to jump through as far as patrons go. I mean, there's a code book that narrows down addresses to the street number for whether you can get a card or not. That's pretty hard core. I mean seriously, HARDCORE!

The other thing that I'm finding interesting about the public library dynamic is the amount of collaboration and subordination that is involved. There are numerous people that I might have to go through in order to get something done. and from what I have learned, buying stuff takes an act of congress if not God himself.

There will be more about this, but truthfully I think it might be that way at all libraries. God forbid though. I might have to go into cataloging just to get away from the chain of command. Or just go straight to the top of the food chain.
