Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

Pity Party

Well poop on a stick. I didn't get the job.

I didn't even get a crummy phone call. I got a crummy letter. Many qualified applicants, hard decision, someone who meets our current needs, blah blah blah blah blah.

So I sulked. I'm a champion sulker. I have a theory that this trait is genetically engineered into all middle children actually.

Wallow, wallow, wallow. Sulk, sulk, sulk.

But hey, this is good news for those of you who read my blog for library stories. I would have had no new library stories to tell if I took a job where I didn't deal with the public day in and day out.

*Sob*

The Boyfriend has been trying to cheer me up. It was chinese for dinner and The Incredibles on cable. And Lilith is cheering me up too - although indirectly. What better way to deal with disappointment than to read a manuscript about an underappreciated librarian who becomes a demon hunter?

See, I'm feeling better already.

What a sucky thing, a form letter.

1. I'm sorry about the job.
2. Sulking is a middle child thing (my sister is a champ).
3. Love The Incredibles.
4. To cheer you up--The Yankees lost and Boston won, it pains me to type that.

Glad it's cheering you up. I was afraid it totally sucked and you were trying to find a nice way to tell me, LOL.

Wait till you get to the "wrong f*&ing librarian!" bit. I can't wait to hear what you think...

Sorry you didn't get the job. *sad face*. I was really rootin' for ya, too.
