I want a job where I work 10-3. And still get paid what I do now.

Today was an all-afternoon meeting of the librarians in my district. It started at noon and by 12:30 I wanted to stick a fork in my eye. But there weren't any utensils. I was sitting with the person I'm mentoring, so I did try to appear interested and involved. Whatever.

Today I asked the new principal if he'd be interested in going to classrooms and reading a picture book on a regular basis. He was thrilled, and loved the idea. He said he had planned on reading a book at the staff meeting tomorrow. I like his style, I think he has some wonderful qualities, but I think he's got a little bit of ADD going on. He can't stay in his office doing things for very long (I've heard him say this twice and have observed it first hand) and when having a conversation he does that thing where a person doesn't really sense it's time to stop talking and let the other person talk. Not things that will be major, just noticeable to me.

I'm kind of in a bad mood-- and have been all day. I'm kind of tired of things here and there, and this and that.
