Did I ever mention that I am now a member of AFSCME? They take $6 a week and in return I get to agitate for things like Professional Days when I go to ALA. It’s an okay trade off. I am well-compensated. Things in King County aren’t going as well, the administration is stalling the procdess of getting newly-unionized workers their first contract. [thanks bill]

damn!
Speaking of job security, the librarian who had a website advertising her S/M services has not had her contract renewed. [thanks jemmy]
the image thing, stop ragging on us
A livejournal user chimes in with some thoughts on “the image thing” Pay special attention to the “I bet you have a secret wild sexy life, eh?” this sort of thing happens to me all the time. [thanks josh]
Ewwww this book sucks
Another LJ user chimes in with some thoughts about being judged by by his librarian for what he checks out of his library, since it’s only a subset of what he actually reads…. Some librarians chimed in to let him know that not only are we not snobby about what the patron’s are reading [we’re just happy they are reading, duh] but we adore the trashy mystery and the cheesy tabloid magazines ourselves once in a while. [thanks thaddeus]
doot doot doot doo doo
Cataloger plays in imaginary lounge band! He’s also got a weird side project.
