I spend usually 17 hours a week on the reference desk and the rest of the time doing YA stuff or in meetings. I run a program called "Homework Help" for teens in the afternoons and evenings, Tuesday through Thursday and Saturday afternoon. Most of the 17 hours fall during these times.

I knew I wanted to do reference in a public setting. I feel somewhat compelled to contribute to society at the local level. I discovered I liked YA work while I was in grad school. It seems like they might be grooming me to take over the tech side of things when the director retires in a few years.

Well, I figure Bitch Go Make me a Sandwich is the exact opposite of this book:

Author: Friedman, Sonya.
Title: A hero is more than just a sandwich : how to give up junk food love and find a naturally sweet man
Publication info.: New York : Putnam, c1986.

With that, the Dewey Number ought to be this: -646.78

I've got a degree in history and one in geography. At one point I thought I might go into speech pathology. Of course, this was prior to my discovering how poor I was at science. I wanted to make some sort of contribution to society (and not in a make-huge-corporate-bucks-and-trust-it-will-trickle-down-to-the-little-people kind of way), but after a few seasons of teaching swim lessons, I realized standing in front of a class day after day wasn't my bag.
