Thoughts on approaching 27…
March 26th, 2005
I can’t have a midlife crisis now, can I?
I’m buried under books and papers right now, trying to get back in the swing of things. I haven’t studied anything other than toy assembly instructions for nearly 5 years now, and now I’m trying to memorize what SCSI stands for (and no, it’s not airing on CBS.) As of right now, I meet the minimum qualifications to become a Computer Technician for the county, but I rarely do anything minimally. Except paying bills.
I’m aiming to become A+ certified before August, along with heading back to school to probably get a vocational certificate. As of now, library school is not even in the picture. The thoughts of another 10 years working the desks and dealing with unappreciative patrons doesn’t appeal to me at all, while the thought of working entirely with computers, something I’ve grown to love, does. I’d love to do field work, not having to be confined to one location all the time. I will miss finding the answer to all those tough reference questions, and seeing the look on someone’s face when I do.
Of course, the thought of just sitting under an umbrella at the beach sipping pina coladas all day long appeals to me the best, but I’m still working out that business plan.
