That whole day off thing? Yeah, not exactly reliable. As I'm training my replacement at my old job, I get a call from my temp agency: it's an all-hands call to help with the queue at my new job. Instead of getting some time to rest, I worked 3 hours at my old job, then ran to my new one and worked over 6 hours there. Good thing I love my new job :).

It was strange to go back though. Everyone was jokingly asking what they could do to get me back, but I knew that they were serious; no one else there could do what I did to make sure the journal was published correctly, and especially administer the website. My replacement is much more of a traditional librarian (even though she was adamant that she has NEVER worked in a traditional library), and I've already gotten a call from my temp complaining that she's uptight ALL THE TIME. I'm like "Welcome to the average older librarian." One reason I'm thrilled I got out of that field.

Today I'm finally taking it easy after a very, very long week, then off to Jersey again for my other aunt's birthday on Sunday. I'm running twice the schedule I used to, but have twice the energy. I'm lovin' it, to borrow a phrase.
