Danielle, thank you. You are right, it does almost feel like starting at a new school. I should get myself some new notebooks and pens! :)

Fern, for all the stress and headaches they caused me, they were nice coworkers.

Eva, I’ve been vegan for about 15 years. My husband does all the cooking but we do have some great recipes most from cookbooks. Our favorite cookbooks are Veganomicon, Vegan with a Vengeance, and How it All Vegan. VegWeb also has loads of great recipes. Good luck!

Daphne, well since they saw me carrying a book around for eight years, at least someone was paying attention! :) It was a marvelous send off and completely unlooked for.

Sylvia, you’re right, I must have done something right! Harold does not analyze War and Peace though he does have praise for Tolstoy.

Litlove, it was a nice way to end that chapter of my life and launch off into something new. In spite of everything, they were a good group of people to work with.

Dorothy, I was shocked by the gift. I knew they were up to something but I thought I’d just get cards and maybe a new coffee mug or something. It was a nice surprise.

melanie, no apologies needed! It is good information to know and keep in mind as I move forward in my career.

Peg, thanks! So far things are fantastic. I am beginning to see why librarians report such high job satisfaction.

Cip, thank you. Good luck with making changes of your own!

Carrie, it has been a great way to start the new year. I am feeling very lucky.

Too bad about the Renard book! Micromanaging the man’s journals like that is a shame.

It sounds very exciting.
Some things are just now finally getting back to normal and my family has spent the first half of this day trying to convince me that I should utilize the money left in my mother’s legacy in going back to school to further my education and change my own career path.
Their arguments are sounding very very good about now!
I cannot possibly envision myself working where I currently work, five years from now… much less the rest of my life.
And so your blog-posting is very timely for me. Sometimes “change” is just the thing one needs!
