This weekend was thoroughly unproductive. I played some Baldur’s Gate. I read a little. I watched some baseball. I bought some new Puma’s while shopping with the wife. I applied for a job I do not know if I want, and that I am not sure I am qualified for. I guess if they call me in for an interview I can be forthright with them as I do not really care if they give me the job. I really do not know how I feel about that… If you are wondering the position is to be a digital librarian; here is a description:

The Digital Collections Librarian is responsible for planning, designing and building the *** Digital Library. Under the supervision of the Head of Systems, the incumbent works with members of the Digital Library Committee to develop and maintain policies and procedures to guide the development of digital collections, particularly in terms of issues relating to quality control, production workflow, and copyright. Investigates new approaches for creating, implementing, and maintaining administrative and technical metadata records, full-test data, images (including maps and aerial photographs), audio, video, and electronic media in a vendor-supported digital content management environment.

Collects and interprets data relating to the production of digital collections, and makes recommendations for outsourcing projects. Works collaboratively with those at *** and at other institutions in developing standards, metadata, and digital content, as well as grant writing, collaborative funding and other resource development. Actively trains and supervises production staff.

I wonder how my current work would feel if I just up and left on a whim (assuming I got the job)? I really do not think I will end up getting it so it really does not matter.
