Road Rash
It’s been a while since I’ve last written a post. It’s not that nothing has been going on, it’s just that nothing extremely exciting has given me that push to sit down and write a post. Well, I’m happy and sad to report that something “exciting” happened to me today: I got ran into by a truck while on my bike.
Now, before you freak out: I’m fine. A little battered, a little bruised, but alright.
It all went down this morning when I decided to do the “right” thing and ride my bike to campus despite the rain. It hasn’t rained here in a while and I don’t usually have to make the decision on whether to ride my bike or take the shuttle but I usually end up siding with the latter. Maybe it’s because I wanted to get to campus quickly or maybe it was because I hate riding the shuttle but for whatever the reason, I decided to take my bike.
Filed under General | Comments (3)Recycling or First Day?
Well, I just got back from the recycling bins and now I am not sure if my second post of the night should be about stupid people or about my first day in Special Collections. How about I do both, but I will be quick on the recycling people. Continue reading »

Well, I assumed that Sat wanted to finish and here it is a week later and he still hasn’t, so I guess it is my turn again. Good thing is, there isn’t much more to tell. Continue reading »
Filed under General | Comment (0)So much to tell!
Well, it has been a while since the last post and SO MUCH has been going on! As ou saw a few weeks ago I got a new job (yay!). My last day in my current position is this Thursday. I have been bustin’ my balls for the last two weeks to get things wrapped up and ready for me to leave. I don’t only have to take care of my regular tasks but also wrap up all the “extras” that I have been working on. I think the department is really starting to realize all the things I had my hands on. I think I am just starting to realize everything that I do!! I hope that whoever replaces me also has my gusto so that things will keep getting done and keep improving.

It’s somewhat weird when you live in a spring break destination. People want to come to your town to soak up some sun and booze but all you want to do is get away. I’m not complaining though; I’m pumped that spring break has finally arrived.
It hasn’t been all that long since our last post but it has been the end of the term and Easter was on Sunday so a fair amount of things have been going on. I’ll start from the beginning, namely the end… of the term.
As you might have gleaned from Colleen’s last couple posts, she was offered a job in the Mandeville Special Collections Library. She was a little depressed from being passed over for the other jobs she interviewed for but that made this offer even sweeter. She officially accepted the position today and she begins her new job on April 14. I know she is going to rock, just like she does in all aspects of life.

Well, this is the follow up post to the one earlier today. I was just going to edit it but was worried that those of you with RSS would not be notified of the change so am just going to start from scratch…
I guess before I begin I should start with a little back story. About a month ago I had my second interview for the ILL manager position. I was REALLY hoping to get the job and actually thought that I might get it. Well, I found out one Sunday night/Monday morning that I did not get it. I was so sad and disappointed that I immediately started applying for jobs on the UCSD job site, JOBlink. I didn’t really think much of the jobs that I applied for. I mean, I applied for things that I thought I had a chance of getting but didn’t really care that much. It was just what I needed to do to help me feel better.

It’s the end of the term again, which means things are starting to pick up around here. Colleen has been busy at work, receiving kudos left and right, while I’ve been trying to keep things going with my research and teaching. I’m not going to talk about any of those things in this post though. I am gonna talk about food.
You remember food, don’t you? Food is that good old friend of yours who is always there to pick you up. Luckily for us, food has been really good to us lately. Well, for the most part…
Filed under Food | Comment (1)A Quick Post
Well, I figured since I haven’t written in a while I really should and lucky for you I have a little extra time this morning! It is week 10 (out of 10) at UCSD which means busy busy students and finals are just around the corner. RE and I are rushing to get evals done for our students and get everything in order for Spring term. We just found out yesterday that we aren’t going to have to hire any new students right away! Although we are going to be taking on all of Reserves searching and possibly ILL in the future for now we should be set and can always hire later in the term (as long as we get the $$ for it!).

I’ve been on a bit of a psychic streak lately. No, not a psycho streak… a psychic streak!
What ever am I talking about? Well, a thought about some random thing will pop into my head and shortly thereafter, I will run into something that has to do with that thing. Unfortunately I can’t remember any specific examples, but it would be along the lines of “Wow, I haven’t heard anything about Band X in a while. I wonder what happened to them?” Then I will be surfing the web and I’ll see a news article about “Lead singer of Band X diagnosed with crappy music disease.” Of course, I never take these things too seriously as they are probably the work of some very subtle subconscious thoughts. Some people might refer to this as a series of coincidences but being human, I am bound to believe that anything out of the ordinary is extraordinary—put that way, it sounds downright logical, doesn’t it? Ok, ok, I have a feeling I might be losing you, so I’ll try to get to the point, which may be only loosely related to my ramblings.
The other day I had a great idea. Continue reading »
