I applied for an unpaid internship that will give me good experience. I had a Skype interview with the supervisors, which was interesting. (Zara tried to join the discussion, which made them laugh.) They gave me the job, which will start at the beginning of November. It's a virtual internship with flexible hours, which should work well for me.
I have a quandary on my hands. I'm on the Professional Development Committee for the Michigan Library Association. Its annual conference is next week, in a town about 2.5 hours away from here. I'm working during one of the days, but am free the other two days. I feel like I should go, but there are only a couple of sessions that interest me. I hate to spend the money for a couple of sessions (plus, if I'm going for two days, I'll need to spend the night there). However, the Committee needs people to cover the registration desk. My mom is currently in Chicago right now because my aunt is having surgery, and I don't know if she'll be back by then, so I'd need to get a pet sitter for the cats (although they'd probably be okay by themselves). I also had planned to get the snow tires put on my car during one of those days. (I intended to have it done today, but wussed out because of the rain.) I'm leaning towards not going because of the complications. I suppose that I could change my mind at the last minute and pay extra.
The pond has been finished for a couple of days. However, the pond massively flooded today because of all of the rain. I called the landscapers, and they came by and pumped out some of the water. They left the pump, so I guess that they're coming back tomorrow. They told me that we need to turn off the waterfall and contact them whenever we go out of town so that they can keep an eye on the pond. I wonder if my mom realizes that the pond will be an additional responsibility.
I've been having a tough time getting motivated because it's so gloomy out. The catz have been sleeping a lot too.
I'm working tomorrow morning, so I need to get organized.
