I have to part-time jobs one as librarian , on as a bookkeeper.
Being a librarian is nice I meet bookish people, see all the new books etc but there is lot of bureaucracy being part of the local community centre and clearing up the mess people make of the shelves can be tedious.
On the other hand the bookkeeping I do from home and am more or less my own boss. And even without those freedoms I just love the work. When get going I become so involved I forget to eat and only get up from my chair because my bum goes numb.
I consider myself incredibly lucky.

This year the hour changes 2 days before my daughter's Bat Mitzvah. I am wondering just how many people will turn up an hour early!
Jeane I am so glad you enjoy your job. I am working as an insurance adjuster. Basically an extremely thankless job. I have learned a lot about medicine by reviewing medical records but I just don't feel that I am benefiting anyone or helping anyone, I feel like I'm stagnet!
Esther did anyone show up early? It is so hard that time change!
Okay we have 22 posts to go! Is anyone else out there?????
I just realized something...when I came to Dublin in November I told myself I will only buy a book if the book I bought before is finished and besides that I go tot he library......right. I kind of forgot about my plan. I do go to the library, really a lot but of all the books I bought since november I read one. I have ten or twelve books that I bought since november. It is a big stop for me till I read them. And I will have to because i really don't know where i can put them for now as we are sharing a house, so we have one room we don't share wich is our bedroom.
This morning i posted a new topic in the lsit part and don't find it...I am wondering if again I forgot to press post...
LOL I am only laughing Jeane because I have done the same thing. LOL

Emilee wrote: "Esther did anyone show up early? It is so hard that time change!"It's in another couple of weeks. I'll tell you what happens
this is outrageous...to be so close!
I would just keep posting to myself, but that would be mean :P somebody else needs to come and enjoy the moment with me!
Allison I do think it is just you & me. So we better get posting!
Esther your lucky yours is a couple weeks away! Keep me posted.
I really ought to go read. I also bought a lot of junk food at the store today so I really should go for a walk. But alas, I'm too lazy!
hehe, I need to finish 2 books I'm reading that I don't exactly love so much
hope you're having a good weekend Emilee :D
I am really enjoying all the books I'm reading. I really ought to only read one book at a time. I think I would get more reading done then.
Fiona is going to come back and we will have hit 10,000 posts!
I usually only read 1 book at a time, I just have these two loose ends I haven't wanted to finish that I need to.
Mod
You broke the sound barrier, I mean... uh.... fine posting job! haa haa
That is quite an accomplishment!
Although I have to question your sanity a bit, it would appear that once you set your minds to something, you see it through all the way :)
Loves, hugs, kisses
you're not the only one questioning our sanity ;) I do that daily.
Mod
You guys keep me entertained. Truely!
Lori: love the new Avi! The Dark Crystal is one of the best movies.
Maybe I should watch that tonight! I really need to get it on DVD as yes I still have it on VHS.

We are some days sane and other days should be in a nut house.
So what do you all think to Fiona's idea of hitting 20,000 posts! I think that we can do it!
I am actually going to go read for a bit. Or maybe finish my quilt top that I started.
Until I log on again!
Until I log on again!

20,000..... good luck! Its a lofty goal :)
But something tells me you will be able to do it!

Allison wrote: "you're not the only one questioning our sanity ;) I do that daily."Allison, good to know I am not alone. But you know what? i kind of like my 'sanity'...
Fiona wrote: "OMG you hit 10k without meeeeee!!!I was at the opera, watching Carmen.
Why do they always have to die at the end? And the stories are crap. I preferred Madame Butterfly but Carmen was okay.
Goi..."
Fiona, you just make me think about the first time i went to theatre in England. It was in Nottingham and went to see an Agatha Christie play. It had been a dream to once see a play based on one of ehr stories and i think I felt like the happiest girl in the world!
Goodmorning!!!!!! Is any of you waking up in the weekend around the same time you do as when you work? I do and my getting up time to work is 6.22am...Sunday and what a surprise this weekend, there is sun in Dublin!
I feel like I have done already so much since I left work friday but probably because i did the things i planned till now. I walked home(or almost as the last part i took th ebus) which for people who live here would seem crazy because it isn't really nearby. Yeserday I went to see the exhibition about crime writers in the long room at trinity college. very interesting and that Long room is courgeous...full with old books from floor till ceiling....my breath seemed to stop the moment I saw it. Spent the afternoon in the city centre with my boyfriend and saw the Irish getting ready to celebrate. Hopefully the weather doesn't change today and hopefully I go for a walk.And i want to read Grave sight compeltely today....but that is a lot to ask.
*Random Thought* Why the hell am I up at 4:27 AM? I have been up since 3. grrr.
Congratulations ladies on hitting 10,000 posts. I say we can hit 20,000 in no time. :~)Saved by Grace said: I hate hospitals. I don't care that they help people. I still hate them. I hate the smell of them and the long white/tan hallways and the beeps of those machines and how helpless my grandmother looked. I hate MRI's and operations and X-rays. I hate, hate, hate hospitals and I never want to go to another hospital for the rest of my life.
I am so sorry that your grandmother is going through a rough time and that you are too. Hospitals can be no fun especially when a loved one is in there. Hang in there Grace. *hugs*
Fiona: how was Carmen? I have always wanted to see that Opera! I have several copies of the music and absolutely love it.
Saved by Grace: so sorry.
I worked in a hospital a long time ago. I always thought we should paint the walls to be more cheerful and the smell, don't know how to get rid of that! But completely agree!

Lisa: I hope you were able to go back to bed. 4 am is jsut too early.
I on the other hand should have got up at 6 am to start getting breakfast and the family ready for church. Oh yeah now I'm online. Brilliant. I guess I needed a littel time for me. Oh we woke up late. I am sure we'll be walking in 10 minutes late. Oh well. At least we are going.

Okay so I really need to go for now. Be back later.
Thanks Emilee sadly I'm still awake. I now have been awake for 4 hours. *sigh* I know we won't be making it to church this morning. Next week is another chance. hehe!!Have a great day!

I so want a new job, one that I would enjoy. I realize that is extremely rare. Personally I think I should work for a publisher and read books all day ..."
Emilee, I am not doing my dream job but luckily for me it is my first priority, a job that interestsme, makes me curious, teaches me a lot of new things and so on. So for now I have always enjoyed my job. Would never have thought I would work in finances or even like it but I am enjoying it. So on monday I am actually looking forward to go to work.
