It's somewhat ironic to work on Labor Day, but that's retail for you. For some reason I was very busy with the blogs yesterday, though, and so I thought I'd post a few links. There's a review of Tove Jansson's very wonderful The Summer Book, a cool video of how microlending looks on a map, and the links to two very different hunting stories.

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.
