Yeah, I know, that title is from Peter Pan, but anyway ....
The blog is taking a different heading, re-generating, if you will.
I've applied for several jobs for which I am qualified, but the drawback is that they are in different states. While that is not a problem for me (I can go pretty much anywhere right now), many times an institution will prefer to hire from close to home.
So I will be posting updates from time to time on how I am doing.
I'm mainly looking at academic libraries. I'm more used to the politics within there than I was to the politics in a rural county run by an 'old boy network'. But I have applied to a few higher paying county libraries, (NON-DIRECTOR POSITIONS, thank you very much) in slightly larger cities (don't want to go too urban!).
My wife says I should get a job at Books-A-Million (BAM) in the meantime, but I have three weeks of salary coming, and I said, "aw, come-on, let me enjoy freedom from the pressures that almost killed me these last five months!" She relented. I think what it is is the 'retirement syndrome' after YEARS of me being out of the house, all of a sudden, here I am! Underfoot.
still signing myself as
"The Director"

Best of luck on the new adventure.
the line from Peter Pan is "To die will be an awfully big adventure..."

I'd defintely use the three weeks for job hunting and de-stressing. Glad you're getting the resume out there. I just moved quite a distance for a new job and while moving is always a challenge, it's also an adventure. Here's hoping it's a short hunt.
hmmm, I guess I was thinking of Peter Pan's line at the end of "Hook":
"Oh, no, to live would be the greatest adventure"
:-)
Best of luck, Director! You deserve a workplace that appreciates you.
