Librarian Anyone?

I had an epiphany today. For months, I have been asking myself the question "What's my passion?" because if I knew the answer, then I'd know which direction to go, right? Right. So today, I'm on my bike, getting some exercise here on the face of the sun - it's hot, yo - and it comes to me...my epiphany...I want to be a Librarian. As a kid, I spent hours in the George Reynolds branch of the Boulder Library. I loved that place. I loved the new book section. I loved the Reference section. I loved the peace, the quiet, the coolness of the library. I'd come home with my backpack stuffed with books and I grab some ice tea, or hot tea, and head out to the back porch to read. I used to plant-sit for a friend of mine and I would head over there to her huge back porch with the plants all around and read, read, read. I'd reluctantly head home for dinner after 2 or 3 hours.
As a librarian, I would help people find books, help people on various computers available, it would be a quiet and peaceful world, air conditioned, people reading and getting smart, kids reading and writing book reports or whatever...what a perfect world! I am so excited to get started on my new career!
