On May 16,2011, one year after I had earned my MLS, I came to realize that I was spinning my wheels in Phoenix, with limited opportunities to grow and achieve my full potential. I have always enjoyed my time in Chicago, and it is an obvious magnet for people with an interest in working in libraries, museums and archives. I decided to make the move in July, before my 26th birthday.

Day 44 - Coleman Evans
Today at work, I met a man who might be willing to give me a job in his department at the University of Chicago! Trent and Coleman were chatting when I got back from lunch, I joined when they started talking about Arizona. Trent had to leave but Coleman and I kept talking. His undergraduate degree is in Sociolgy and he watches Martin Lawrence stand ups too, what more do two people need to have in common? I followed up with him in the hopes of finding a new friend and his first text asks me if I would be interested in a job in curriculum development in the College of Medicine! I said maybe, please send me the description. We will see if he does. I don't want to get geeked up about it, but if that doesn't show the power of networking, I don't know what does.

Ummmmm, he has your phone number? this is what great love stories starring Sanaa Lathan are made of.
Oh, and a job hook up is a great idea too. just make sure my bridesmaid dress can be worn a 2nd time. oh, and hopefully you can get a job. :D
Sister dear, do I need to remind you about the only two types of men in this world who enjoy my company? They are relatives and gays. Seeing as how none of our relatives have two last names, you can guess which camp my new friend falls into.
