OMG!
These two days have been INSANE! I am not even joking. o.O
I started my new job yesterday, which was fun and interesting. The need for a librarian at that place is HUGE! Not even joking. There's been this lady there that's not a librarian, and she's pretty much just made sure students can borrow books. Nothing more. That's not even half of what a school-librarian does!
The teachers are ecstatic that I'm there. The students are curious at me (librarian with tattoos and piercings, what? really?). And it's a nice place to be. Really. I think I could enjoy it there.
But.
Yesterday when I was going home, I got a call from a colleague of mine I used to work with. She is now head over all culture work in one part of the city. And they needed a librarian at another school. Full time until the end of December. She wanted me.
o.O * shocked *
Thing is, that offer is HUGELY better then the current one, let me tell you. At my current one, I am only guaranteed 4 hours a day. And they can only hire me a month at a time, and it'll probably end come summer. The other offer, I'll have a full time job until December. It's a no-brainer, really.
Still I feel shitty leaving the school I am currently at without a librarian. They haven't had a proper librarian for 3 years! THREE YEARS! That's NUTS! I am a bit at a shock as to why they haven't hired a librarian as a temporary replacement for the one that is ill in such a long time. Crazy, crazy...
We'll see what happens now I suppose. Going on an interview on Thursday for the better job, and after that? We'll see.
Keep your fingers crossed?

I've been unemployed for YEARS! I've just worked hired by the hour at various libraries... and on temporary positions. This to is a temporary position but it's the longest running I've ever head, all the way until December!
