I really can't stay away.

This is me checking out where/when I can take the GRE this summer.

Yeah, I figure there's a greater-than-50%-chance I'm gonna be in Knoxville in fall 2007 (or possibly 2008, depending on how the next eight months go job-wise), starting an MLIS program that will theoretically lead to either public or reference librarianship. They require GRE scores from a test taken at least one semester before application (which is, I believe, in April).

Ack ack ack. When did I start wanting to become a grad student? Am I insane?

And should it be worrying me that my first thought upon deciding (pretty much) on this course of action is, "Wheee, I'll have access to a university library and online resources again!"? I think my love for JSTOR borders on the mentally unstable.

Also, Virtual ScaperCon. Oh, yes.

I heard the same thing about the library job market -- in fact, what I read was almost verbatim what you typed. Have you been reading the Occupational Outlook Handbook too? :)

More similarities: "A paycheck large enough to buy a tiny little house, a tiny little car, and keep me and a cat or two in food, cable internet, and DVDs" is exactly what I'm looking for, too. And I don't know what I'm doing next week. I don't even know what I'm doing tomorrow.

Good to know I have a peer in a similar situation! I wish the best of luck to you (and me).

Nope, although I have been scouting around the internet for information on library stuff.

*clings* We're not alone! Hooray! And yes, good luck all around.
