My ideal job...and I can't even take it!
I have been keeping my eyes peeled, constantly checking the Library listing for open positions, and today I found a job that I would love to take...and it is not far from where I used to live out East. TORTURE. To know that I could do the job, and do it well, and live where I want to be-out East...to be able to cast my eyes out on the sea of Berkshire green...sigh...
