sorry for the work hell.....been there, done that, it was awful, but thankfully those situations never last forever, one way or the other......not a good sign when before opening the door to the building you say each day, "dear lord, please get me through this day" and repeat that phrase multiple times, but eventually things change, things get better, one way or the other, for me it was finding a new position and moving on to a much happier healthier environment, glad i had that option, maybe others don't so readily, i know it wouldn't be so simple at this point in my career.
librairies and books. must admit that while i still love my books, and when i say love, i mean love, combined with my love of antiques, finding a good old book is like finding a jewel in treasure chest. but, when it comes to journals, i'd rather read the articles on-line or print out anything really interesting that i want to mark up, vs photocopying from a bound paper journal. so though our university library may be becoming more electronic and less "paper", it still serves a vital role in helping us to find resource material, supply the books and journals, even if that means on-line, so not so much a downsizing as a step sideways from paper to electronic. if a library can manage that transition....
or like my husband, perhaps a complete change of careers, its always possible, though for me, i can not imagine such a change, we're all different.
good to see you again,
