I'm going to give the S7E a tryout starting today. Finally got around to applying the screen protector on it yesterday.

Ooh let us know how that goes.

Got a friend of mine an iPhone 7+ last night in a trade. He is quite happy with it.

You're the king of trades for sure!

It was a win win situation for all parties involved 😀

I have to go to the Bay Area next week to teach a class. This travel thing isn't slowing down.

Happy birthday MIA. Enjoy a cold one.

[MSFTisMIA]

She's looking forward to the mini break. So am i.

I had a mini break where my jet lags crossed each other and messed my sleep up for about a week and a half! I need a major break - I am thinking at least three weeks off!

Sounds like you have a long one. Hours long?

There's a new lady who started here at work recently and she seems cool. Maybe that's why I am a little more talkative with her, which is weird for me because I'm so quiet and I don't say much. It could also be because she seems friendly too.

I guess it helps that we aren't that far apart in age too, considering that I am the youngest staff member at work. I'm the baby, haha.

On the work note, I have never really said what I do.

I am a library services specialist that works behind the scenes in an academic library. I'm aiming to go to library school (grad school) but I don't know what area I want to be in, exactly.

My career is libraries, really. It's not common but it fits so well for me. Not sure what else I would be doing if I wasn't here. Probably something administrative.

Tomorrow, I'm supposed to go bridesmaid dress shopping with her friends. I'm okay with it but I need to confirm with my sister if it's still happening or not, considering other things going on in her life right now.

I worked in a library part-time from 1985-1992, while I was in high school and college. I really enjoyed working at the library.

Good luck with that! I hope the dresses that are chosen will be nice.

My uncle who passed away last year was one of the first to get a PhD in library science back in the day (that too in my home country). He helped start a library science department at the University where he found employment after graduating. He would come visit often (my dad was his favorite brother-in-law) when he was in town for work and usually he would be meeting with people from book companies and book distributors. So of course he would bring lots and lots of books for me as presents. I grew up reading books from so many different genres that were mainstream here in USA at that time but not common back home. This I believe is one of the main reasons for inspiring me to become a voracious reader. I also think this helped me assimilate here in USA since I was so familiar with the norms/culture.

Thanks for bringing back fond memories!

I used to teach chemistry to children and teens at a community science center during the late 80s and early 90s. I was inspired by my chemistry tutor (the teacher I had in school was utterly clueless) who also happened to be an engineering professor. I guess I followed him as far as my career choice was concerned. Oh and I taught chemistry to engineering and pre-medical students at my graduate school as well. That was a lot of fun too.
