To dream the impossible dream…

Sunday, January 8th, 2006

They told us on the first day of grad school orientation that we should forget about trying to get a job in Madison.  But, um, I moved back to Madison from California because I had a crazy dream that this is where I wanted to live for the rest of my life.

Now that dream has come true.  That’s right, folks, I have managed, through blood, sweat, tears, and luck, to land myself a freakin’ librarian position at the UW-Madison.  Not only that, but it’s permanent, and full-time.  The Holy Grail!!!

My new job is at Wendt Library (where I currently work), as a Marketing Coordinator, and liaison to three departments in the College of Engineering.  I welcome any and all suggestions from y’all.  While I have some marketing background from my former life in non-profit management, I’m trying to get up to speed ASAP.

Thanks for all of your encouragement, and for those of you still on the job hunt, remember: the impossible takes a little longer.  I have faith in you.
