Yay for labor!! And thank you.
ReplyDeleteHere's to you finding something resembling your dream job, Kathleen.
ReplyDeleteOne with actual holidays would be nice...
I think that many appreciate the efforts made by people who keep shops open during public holidays.
ReplyDeleteThis interview might be a consolation for anybody in the book trade at the moment...

I probably shouldn't get into the politics of what it takes to keep those shops open these days.
ReplyDeleteI don't really mind working holidays usually, especially if I am just going to be in town anyway.
I like those Jason Ramirez covers. It's interesting that he sort of drifted into the job rather than setting his sights on it specifically. I was amused by the lines, "I first went to college in upstate New York with the intention to eventually study medicine. Four years later, after a near-fatal rendezvous with organic chemistry, I graduated with a degree in comparative religious studies."
That is a very Santa Cruz kind of path.
