Newsy News
A repost from one of my other (similarly neglected, tho a little more recently) web spaces:
***************************
Well, after nearly a year of radio silence, I’m resurfacing briefly with fun news. I’ve spent the last several months head-down in studies, and can now proudly say I’ve completed all of my work toward my degree. With the arrival of my diploma (hopefully sometime in August or September), I will officially be a full-fledged, degreed Librarian, just over 3 years after starting the program at Syracuse’s Information School. Though I don’t quite consider it official until I have that paper in hand, the celebrating has commenced. 
Registering even higher on my excitement scale is the news that at the end of August I’ll be moving back to Maine. I’ve recently accepted a job at my alma mater as an Information Systems Analyst (i.e., “she who does web and database stuffs, amongst other things”) in the Administrative ITS department. While I’ll not be in a library setting, my work will still be focused on using technologies to help people access and use the information they need, and that’s really What It’s All About. I can hardly (oops. I suppose that should be hahdly; better brush off my Maine accent!) wait! It’s fortunate that Husband’s a telecommuting programmer, and can continue with his current employer from essentially anywhere that has a broadband connection; his flexibility (combined with our mutual desire to make it back to our home state) made the job decision even easier. W00t!
So, if anyone is still watching this after such a long hiatus - if you’re in Maine, or plan any trips to that area in the near future (perhaps for some leaf-peeping), drop a note and stop by to say hi!
