A birthday!

Here's to a very happy birthday to dear lbilover, wishing you and your doggies a day full of hobbity and S/E goodness. Sadly, the Muse is still on an extended vacation (and didn't think to ask me along, darn her!), so I've nothing ficwise to add to the wishes. Have a great day, Ellen!

Yes, definitely! I can show you all the sights (that'll take about 2 minutes, lol)

Here's hoping that the director search goes well. We've used consultants for our last two searches, and while they talked to department heads, they certainly didn't seem to pay much attention to anything that we said. I hear you about an understaffed Reference Dept. Our Head of Reference is practically pulling her hair out trying to keep the desks covered.

I'd love to see your library!

I'm not feeling terribly optimistic, to be honest. I suspect we will get stuck with our current assistant director who, the very first day she started, told me and our head of reference that we have too many reference librarians. It's been her goal, and the director's, to decimate our department and they are doing a fine job. We are facing the potential situation of not having anyone to cover the desk during certain hours. That has never happened before and it's horrifying to think that the public will go without reference assistance. But you can't get blood from a stone. We are maxed out, stressed out and morale is in the toilet.
