Wait, what? ANOTHER job?!?!?!

[kseenaa]

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?

Wow! That's amazing.

All I can say is, if you get offered the better job, take it. The current job, if they really want to keep you, will make you an offer to try and get you to stay. Then you can see which will suit you best.

And if they don't make you that offer, then you're better off with the other job anyway.

Haha, when it rains, it pours, this time in a good way. I hope you can do what will be best for you. :)

i will keep my fingers sUPER SUPER crossed, i literally just squealed in class. you don't need the luck though or the crossed fingers, you are an amazing librarian that loves books and that's all you need.

i am so sincerely happy that things are turning around and i am SO excited!!! this is almost a YEAR!! soooooo exciting. I'm so thrilled for you congratulations! I knew this day would come!!

soo.. basically the absolute WORSt that could happen here is that you wind up staying at this library you really like just for less time?? seems like good odds!!

haha, how crazy! congrats on both the offers!

if i were you, i wouldn't rule out the original offer just yet. if you let them know about your situation they may just be able to improve your offer and give you some incentive. you never know!!

were you unemployed before? i guess i had assumed you had some other kind of library gig
