Letters, Colleges and Something Else I'm Sure...

For those readers that wanted a bit more detail about my job search, let me give you this little tidbit: I've recently spent a bit of time trying to get letters of reference for a library job at a private school here in town. At first, it seemed like a bitch frankly but once I, at my mother's urging, decided to take the fact they didn't specifically ask for professional references literally, it went much smoother; as it was, two were professional anyway...

My college really needs money for expansion as they've been inundating me with mail and phone calls. Once they started calling, I gave in and gave them a small donation as it's really the right thing to do. I joked with my cousin that it was the closest I'll ever get to talking to a young college co-ed... Meanwhile, while this fund push is going on, the school president resigned. Apparently not because of a scandal but it still kind of irks me I had to read about it in the newspaper. Some department, whether in was PR or Alumni Relations, seriously dropped the ball. When there was a presidential change at my grad school, I received numerous updates by both mail and e-mail so WTF?

I've gotten addicted to my Baseball Mogul game that I received for Christmas again. That game rocks so hard! Currently, I'm trying to re-do the 1986 season but I'm not sure I'll even make the playoffs let alone win the World Series...
