Only, given that their names are "Capt'n Slappy" and "Ol' Chumbucket", I couldn't post it as I did here. <BR/><BR/>So:<BR/><BR/>Ahoy, mateys!<BR/><BR/>Avast and shiver me timbers!<BR/><BR/>I've been mutinied -- er, mutininened -- er -- my crew has committed an act of mutiny on me! I am now adrift on the sea of librarianship. In short, I've been asked to resign my commission as director of the Library I was hired on for five short months ago.<BR/><BR/>The reason? a nebulous complaint filed with the county commission that I was not a happy director (I guess they wanted "Capt. Stubing"<BR/>of the "Love Boat") but no further details, except that some of my staff were also complainin'.<BR/><BR/>And no response to me request for more information on the nature of the complaint (how can I correct course if I don't know the heading?)!<BR/><BR/>So the County answer to Capt. Norrington called and asked for my sword, which, to tell the truth, I was happy enough to hand over.<BR/><BR/>May Davey Jones take the scurvy lot of them.*<BR/><BR/>Now I've got to sign on aboard a new ship somewhere.<BR/><BR/>Happy Sailing and fair weather!<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>*of course, that's just pirate talk, and I don't really mean it! Much.LibraryJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159552723963754941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048555650883124249.post-41642694694304588402008-09-13T22:08:00.000-04:002008-09-13T22:08:00.000-04:00Kevin,Thanks for the laugh!Kevin,<BR/>Thanks for the laugh!LibraryJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159552723963754941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048555650883124249.post-21297937737677073582008-09-13T18:04:00.000-04:002008-09-13T18:04:00.000-04:00Best of luck.I many respects, the message that you...Best of luck.<BR/><BR/>I many respects, the message that you're 'not really library director material' is actually a damned fine compliment to you as a human being.
