I'm wondering if this is something that Peter (cozmik cowboy) would be qualified for. He describes himself as an archivist who is "unemployed with a graduate degree". The job qualifications include a "master's degree from an ALA-accredited program or accredited graduate archives management program". Maybe if Peter gets the job we can split the finder's fee. |

Yes, that would be me. Actually, the finder's fee would go to my thesis advisor, who sent the posting for this job, thinking it to be a perfect fit (my degree is in history, but I have coursework & several years experience in archives - & I'd take the fee out of doing sound for her band). I'm writing the cover letter now; of course, there's the small fact that the lovely & charming Mrs. Cowboy has a good job in Illinois. We'll see what happens (no. 1 son moved to Sacramento this year, which might make it easier to move her.) Peter |

Did you see the Daily Show's take on the job position? (sorry for the advertisement at the beginning...) If you don't have thick skin, either as a fan of the Dead or as an archivist, then maybe you shouldn't watch, but I think it's in good fun. |

Missed that, Harry - as an archivist, a Deadhead, & a Daily Show fan, I loved it! (And hope it discourages some people from applying) Peter |
