Odds and Sods
Campus was really dead last week because of spring break, so its really apparent when we have visitors. Friday some group of people with purple jackets were all over campus. The jackets were purple and said something about U.S. Dept. of Agriculture on them and the initials "F.F.A." Future Farmers of America maybe? The kicker was they were all high school girls and had little uniforms on: short skirts and white dress shirts and ties. I don't say that for any particular reason, thats just what was going on on campus last week.
Another job application ready for the National Archives and working on one for the Pennsylvania Historical Society. No one can say I'm not trying. I've been mentally toying with the idea of applying for public library jobs, but an email from an ex-librarian friend put the kibosh on that, for a few days at least. She said "I'm sick and tired of kissing the whining public's ass." My sentiments exactly. Give me the papers of the Mid-Pennsylvania Horticultural Society to arrange and describe, stick me in the basement and leave me the hell alone. Thats the job for me.
Reading:

on deck:
"To Begin the Nation Anew: Congress, Citizenship, and Civil Rights after the Civil War" by Robert Kaczorowski, The American Historical Review, February, 1987.
Quote of the Day:
Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces; but let us judge not that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered; that of neither has been answered fully.
--- Abraham Lincoln, Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1865
