The problem with working every day this week is, when I left work tonight, I thought "Weekend! Time to relax!" Not so fast, Adrienne. In the coming week, I need to do taxes by Monday, ILS configuration exercises on the weekend and during the week, work at the internship Tuesday and Wednesday (only 9 hours though), write a major paper by Wednesday, attend a chat session on Wednesday, work 14.5 hours across Thursday and Friday, finish a final exam by Friday, and give part of a presentation on Sunday. And my new boss wants me to complete a couple of online orientations "as soon as possible". No rest for the wicked...but I got paid today!

I have a problem with Zara. Harlee decided that she really wanted to go into Zara's part of the house, so I let her in. Zara apparently does think that it's her part of the house because she chased Harlee out of it. I scolded Zara, but that probably didn't have an effect. Maybe if I'm ready for Zara to chase Harlee, I can squirt her with water when she does. Any ideas?

Bad news: The Library of Congress is laying off workers, and I had hoped to work there someday. And the Detroit Public Library probably will close most of its branches. I'm glad that I don't want to work in a public library. That's a major bummer for patrons and the staff being laid off who now will compete for the few openings at other public libraries. The woman with whom I work at my new job wants to work at a public library, but she's going to have a really, really tough time finding a position.
