zhie | So, ALA ran an article about this librarian today.

Damn, made me feel good.

And, shit, made me not feel so well.

Article in Library Journal is about this 28 year old academic librarian, who, in my opinion after reading the article, is a slacker.

I felt good that I'm not like that. Felt really good thinking, I have a higher position, am two years younger, and feel I have gained more respect from my colleagues than what she writes that she has. I felt bad cause, like, thanks for screwing up the demographic for me (and the rest of the young academic librarians working our asses off who are out there). You just made us look like slightly incompetent idiots.

Oy.

This is why I don't go to library conferences... oh, right, I've got that one in Denver this spring. Dammit.

I'm totally going to ignore everyone else in the profession if I can help it that weekend. Networking? That's okay, I'll do it my way instead.

I. Need. A cookie.

Or, perhaps two.
