Yikes. I've just started my second part-time job here at the Widener Library - this one at the Circulation Desk on the evening and weekend shift - and only two days into the position I can confidently assert that this is the easiest job I've ever stumbled upon in my life! A number of us sit at a large semicircular desk and await patrons to come down from the stacks with books to be checked out... and that's it! We don't do anything other than check books out. We don't even check books in, as that's another department's responsibility! During the downtime, which there is an awful lot of, we're actually encouraged to surf the web, catch up on our email, even read books at the desk or do our homework, if we have any (we have a fair amount of students working here). This position is a godsend! What with a somewhat rigorous weekday schedule of cataloging for Modern Greek and teaching Ancient Greek in the evenings at the Institute, I was worried that throwing another seventeen and a half hours of work into the mix was going to kill me, when in fact this is going to do anything but. It's the next best thing to sleeping in late on the weekends. And no one pays me to sleep in!
