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. cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 591 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Friday, November 13, 2009 - 7:48 am:    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.)

(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. cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 592 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Friday, November 13, 2009 - 9:23 am:    Missed that, Harry - as an archivist, a Deadhead, & a Daily Show fan, I loved it! (And hope it discourages some people from applying) Peter sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 502 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Friday, November 13, 2009 - 9:42 am:    I hope you are able to get the job Peter. hg30904 Member Username: hg30904 Post Number: 67 Registered: 6-2003 Posted on Friday, November 13, 2009 - 1:25 pm:    No hijack...but did you see Colbert's bit on George Clinton and Funkadelic a couple of days ago?
