Things seem to be going smoothly here for once. Donna is fitting in nicely in her new job in Mission Viejo and actually enjoys her position. Of course, as the practice becomes busier things will become more hectic. I’m spending a few days a week learning the routines at the City of Orange Library, hoping to start working full-time by the end of April.

It’s hard to believe that we’ve been here seven months already. So much has happened during that time. Still we both agree that we made the right decision in moving here and hope the rest of our first year runs a bit smoother.

Baseball season has begun so they’ll be plenty of stuff on TV and the radio to keep me interested. As I’ve said before there’s baseball and then those other sports of which I have little or no interest. One thing that does bother me a bit is that here in Orange County it appears to be all about either the Dodgers or the Angels, while I’ve always had a fondness for the San Diego Padres. I find it especially odd here in southern OC since we are actually closer to San Diego than LA. I’ll probably have a few more words about baseball in general and the Red Sox, in particular of on Shot’s Shack in the next day or so.

Congrats on the new job! Do you know whether the Mission Viejo library hires On-call Librarians who are studying Library Science but never worked in a public library?

If you are already taking classes in Library Science you can fill out one of the applications for an On-Call position. They will want to know how many credits you have and you'll probably have to submit a transcript.

Just know that the Personnel Office only looks at submissions once a month, generally the first week (depending on the number of applications). Get your application in ASAP.

Good Luck.
