Lit-Net Member Interviews

[Koa]

A bit off topic but about the librarian... do you think I can be something like that even if I haven't studied for that? (I know at the presentation of my MA they said that something about library is a possible career, I suppose taking care of the Russian section or something). Well I'm not even sure what a librarian does, besides the obvious stuff. Even if technically I am a library assistant/receptionist at the language centre.
I was thinking about it lately cos I know other ppl that did similar studies, I just didn't really know it existed back when I started Uni, it certainly doesn't exist where I studied and I've never really heard of it anywhere so it must be buried into some other path if you see what I mean.
Or maybe I can take an MA in library things after this And then one in translation so I have a few careers open But by that time no one would want me anymore cos I'd be 35

[Nightshade]

No actually most people do library that way via the MA later when they are in their 30s whatdo you mean 35? Your only 20-somthing! actualy I thing you just need a degree to become a librarian but you need a CILIP recognised degree to get a well paid job in libraries in the UK

[B-Mental]

did you already do Koa? that would be my guess for interview.

[Pensive]

So what was your question??

I just checked my PM box, and this was it:

you have been to many countries,as it seems,has this affected you?on what way?

I think it means the same...

[Virgil]

did you already do Koa? that would be my guess for interview.

Hey I agree. Koa would be a great choice.

[Janine]

Night, I just loved your great interview...wow so many things we found out about our smilie "Nightshade".....terrific and so witty! I laughed too at the bandage remark. Yes, I agree - nice idea for a thread - funny things kids say. Amazing all the places you have traveled. I am jealous.
How fortune you have been to so many countries and at such a young age.
I love librarians - they are so so nice and so are the aids. Glad to hear you work in a library - one of my favorite places on earth!
I, too, like Elton John and John Denver. I saw the later live when he was not well known. May his music live on - great lyrics. The other artists (most of them anyway) you mentioned I grew up with...they are from my generation. How funny, so many young people now appreciate the Eagles, and other 70's groups and singers from my era!

Thanks for such an entertaining and enlightening interview. I smile a lot like you....totally believe in a good heathy smile to brighten the day for everyone winks are nice, too!
Nightshade - love that name and Leila is beautiful...Yes, like the Clapton song.

Well I'm not even sure what a librarian does, besides the obvious stuff.

They sure do a lot of interesting stuff.

When I first came to know that Night wants to be a liberarain, I always imagined her as the female lead in the movie 'The Mummy.' She knows everything about Humanaptra, this hidden city in Egypt, and she goes to find this city, and does a lot of adventurous things..... She wants to find this book about the dead, and she is so proud of being a librarian...

It does seem an interesting career to pursue...

errr right....

[Madhuri]

I mean it....

Dont you remember the dialogue "I am a librarian"? It was so nicely said, and you must have seen what her knowledge about ancient Egypt led her to??

[Nightshade]

yes she died.... andd almost bought about the end of the world

[Madhuri]

She died?? No...

Whatever happens, dont worry, we'll make a Mummy of yours

It is becoming a chat thread, I suppose. And before any member of the interviewing team says something, I must ask has the next interviewee been decided??

[AimusSage]

It was decided ages ago, we're working down a shortlist here. A long short list, because people keep being added.

[Madhuri]

Okay, take your time But, dont take too much time

[SleepyWitch]

i didn't realize you liked travelling so much. i mean i knew you travelled a lot but I had you down for a bit more of a homebody for some reason :
what you said about the cultural diffs between Britain and muslim countries is very interseting, too!

[Logos]

It's great to get to know you better Night, thanks for doing the interview
