It was posted on a public section of the library web site. So it wasn't a secret, although if my friend hadn't seen it and sent it to me I might not have realized this the day it happened.

Huh. I do think that deserves questioning but I don't know how you should do it, flea. Maybe the fact that this closure is so far along had them thinking it was a done deal and they were answering you about future closures after this one? It's definitely weird, but perhaps not terrible.Can you ask for clarification of their answer in light of your new (new to you) specific knowledge, maybe? Frame it that the answer you got from them is confusing considering the closure?
I say yea, sarameg. Always good to have references ready to go, and to warn them you'll need them.
dcp, I am super jealous that you have the option of staying put and seeing the eclipse from home. I like traveling well enough, but I looove staying home.

Dana, I'm so sorry.
I'm eating my first healthy meal in a while: roasted veggies with TJ's 10-minute farro. Pretty tasty!
flea, I think there's no way you cannot ask them about it. If it's public, the source is irrelevant. But as AAM says, position yourself as "confused" rather than challenging. Because you are hardly the only interviewee they will be misrepresenting the situation to.
... also, why are they interviewing classical librarians if they know the plan is to close the classics library? Is this some political thing?
My nose hurts. Bah.

Aaaand done. One is nbd, I've worked with her the whole time. New deputy engineer? We've had 3 years of intense interaction before her promotion and I loved her, but we don't have the personal so much.
And my mom just had a big meltdown cry on the phone with dad and I want to call her but she's asked we don't and I get that, but uhg.

And deputy chief engineer just replied with an "ABSOLUTELY!"
This is why I fight for this job despite CSRA/CSC fucking me over.
(I know the other is asleep now.)

That seems like a right response.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I'm sorry, Dana. And I hate phone rejections. You're so put on the spot to be polite and mature and understanding so you don't burn any bridges, and I feel like when you don't get a job you were really hoping for, you deserve the space to have your first reaction be weeping or cursing or slamming doors.
No phone call back from the breast imaging center, huzzah! I'm not officially in the clear till I get the letter with the results...but no news has always been good news, so I'm going to assume the best.
I wouldn't mind keeping DST all year, but I wouldn't want to keep standard time. I treasure my long summer evenings too much, and I swear it'd start getting light in Seattle at like 3:30 AM around the summer solstice if it wasn't for DST.
