I was getting too excited thinking I'd be done with my commitment to Stephens-Henager College next month. The thought of getting out of here is very attractive to me. I don't think I'm going to make it to September next year. I was enjoying thinking about maybe finishing my lease in June and working in real estate in Salt Lake City, living with my mother rent free until I find another librarian job there.

I'm ready to get married and I should be more positive about meeting someone here BUUUT I don't want to live here and I have the feeling that's all I'm going to meet here. I want someone who has a career, not just a job and is capable of making at least six-figures fairly quickly. If they have that though they probably don't want to relocate. I don't want someone still in school. I'd like to attend a Midsingles ward in Salt Lake City. I really want to move to California where I don't have to look at snow anymore.They have a Midsingles ward or a couple in Southern California. I don't even like Utah. How the hell did I end up in the middle of nowhere where it is colder than the rest of the state? I love the people I work with. My job however is not fulfilling and definitely doesn't challenge me in any way. I am grateful for my MBA BUUUT I DO NOT WANT TO BE HERE ANYMORE.

My lease is up in June. I'm really not interested in any other positions with Stevens-Henager College. I think I should actively look in San Diego since we have 2 colleges there. Ideally Salt Lake City would be best because I could work part time with SL County as a substitute again and eventually as a permanent worker. Salt Lake City is going to be the popping place for real estate this year. I should really find a job there. I'm grateful I got my license here but I don't really want to learn about all the rural areas here. I already know the SLC neighborhoods.GRRR... This is so frustrating!!!

Ordering books is far from being brain surgery. No one really cares about the library until accreditation rolls around. I know it's my job to promote it more. Working to get CVLA off the ground was fun and occupied a lot of my time in the beginning. It was also fun doing the book fair and decorating the dead space in the computer area. NOT librarian duties but good nonetheless.

After working VERY hard planning and coming up with contingency plans then FINALLY getting shelves approved my director just placed it on hold. It doesn't make me feel like working here if I do all of this ONLY to get NOWHERE!!! Maybe I'm being spoiled. She is always very supportive. I just feel like she never wanted them in the first place despite any claims she made to the contrary. I wish she said that in the first place. I'm going to just have to make this work somehow.

I've been holding off on maintaining the library collection just because we don't have shelf space BUUUT I need to just proceed. I can probably clean up the collection I have now. I need to just get rid of all these computer books and other stuff in the library that just sit there. I am also going to put books on the table and counters in the Academic resource lab. We are not functioning as a true library and I've been holding off for shelf space BUUUT I'm not going to do that anymore. Instead I'll just get rid of books and make space for newer stuff.
