i just ate sushi

from time to time when at the ref desk i will go down the glass hallway to the little food kiosk and buy myself a small thing of sushi.  its not great sushi, but its not bad.  it might be a tad expensive, i dunno; nine bucks for six pieces.  i dont’ use chopsticks, i’m a barbarian and use my fingers.  tweeze a piece between my forefinger and thumb and pop into mouth, chew, swallow, repeat.  it makes for a nice, quick, snacky dinner to tide me over til i get home.  today also bought a bottle of iced tea. 

i got my thanks but not thanks letter yesterday from the library i interviewed a week ago.  i wasn’t surprised, actually.  i’ve gotten used to them, i guess. i was a little disappointed maybe, but not mad or anything like that.  i worked early at the bookstore this morning.  as i was driving home i started thinking about it and i realized that it was probably a blessing that i didn’t get that job.  here’s why.  the distance.  i would of eventually moved to be closer to the library, but that would of been at least a year out, i have to take care of some of the bills i have first.  round trip would of been approximately 60 miles.  my car is still in very good shape, has fairlly low miles and gets decent gas milage, but i think i probably would of been spending double if not a little more on gas then i am now. 

so, i continue to work at the bookstore and do my parttime reference gig at the university library.  my job is out there. ill find it.
