Hear, hear. Surely Terri understands that the Pacific NW is one of the most desirable places to live? Of course it is a tough job market. You stay in the temp pool and ride it out until you get the job. Or not. 
   
  I am rather tired of the bashing and whining on the list--it is the moon? Something is make us lash out and frankly, it needs to stop. I thought the thing to do for posters who don't know the "rules" is to ignore them, not rake them over the coals.

  I have to put in my 2 cents!  I am 61 years old and have been a librarian for 4 years, that's right 4 years.  Due to life changing events I returned to school at 52, recieved my BA in 2002 and my MLS in 2004.  I entered the professional workforce as a director first of a small library and now at a large, rural library.  The library functions as a city department, I am 1 of 11 department heads.  By the way I am the one everyone comes to for technology questions.  I maintain the library's website, I teach seniors computer skills, I tutor city employees in office software and the best part I am still learning.  It is not about age it is about staying current and continous learning.  I am a living example of "your never too old to learn".  I am also not afraid to utter the words "I don't know" and "Show me how you did that".  Take it from me if you are a life long learner you will have a richer and exciting life, until you forget it all.
