"And to this purpose"

"If people like to read their books, it is all very well, but to be at so much trouble in filling great volumes, which, as I used to think, nobody would willingly ever look into, to be labouring only for the torment of little boys and girls, always struck me as a hard fate; and though I know it is all very right and necessary, I have often wondered at the person's courage that could sit down on purpose to do it." (In other words: rambling analyses, opinions, ideas, views, and comments from an English major, Essay/paper-writing enthusiastic, Austen-loving Master Librarian on, well, Jane Austen...and a whole lot of other things, too.)

Heidi's favorite quotes


"What is it really like to be engaged?" asked Anne curiously. "Well, that all depends on who you're engaged to," answered Diana, with that maddening air of superior wisdom always assumed by those who are engaged over those who are not."— L.M. Montgomery

So much for my Polynesian Dancer dreams

Mom used to tell me I had beautiful hands. Not even half way through my work day and I've already broken two nails and discovered a bleeding gash from who knows what as well as a papercut. This is pretty standard in the library field, and I wonder if my hands will ever be that beautiful again. Oh well--the Pollyanna Positive Point is that they are hands that know how to work and aren't afraid to get into it wholeheartedly.




And best, unrelated news: Last day for tax appointments!!!!
