i know i’ve said it before, but i’ll say it again. twitter has rocked my world when it comes to professional development.
one of the prime examples is the AWESOME Kathryn Greenhill who blogs at librarians matter. i felt like i was a bit in a bubble in terms of my second lifeness, and was unsure how non-US librarians were doing tech stuffs in academia. and then Kathryn introduced herself and was nine kinds of welcoming to me.
since that moment, oh so long ago (maybe 9 months), Kathryn has continued to support me in my craziness and encourage me to keep pushing the LIS envelope.
so i would love to take her for coffee (okay, pints).
and would love to take her for a kick-ass meal.
BUT
she lives in western australia.
so though i think she rawks the kasbah, me and my measley aeroplan points will not get me to oz anytime soon to thank her.
so, to Kathryn, a big SMOOCH to you. and many many thanks for encouraging a library school student to go with what she knows.

so i’ve had moo cards for a really long time. i love them because you can use your flickr pix as the design, and add whatever text you like on the other. great company, wicked-fast shipping, and the mini cards come in an usual size which usually wins you prizes in business card draws.
but today, when i got to work, there they were on my desk.
real business cards.
all official like.
WITH MY NAME ON THEM!
we don’t have any webcams at the library (i know, i know, i’m working on it) so i had to wait til i got home to show everyone how excited i am.
nerrrd. i iz one.

well it finally happened, someone decided to take a chance on me (apologies for the Abba reference).
i’m now a liaison librarian at the
Howard Ross Library of Management at McGill University.
w00t!
i’m working on a big post about interviews and such (since i did have a few before this gig) cuz that was the info i wish i had access to when i was going through it all. it’s hairy. and fun. kinda like a panda bear. or my friend Sal.
