How are you doing?

How are you doing? Are you getting enough hours? Is subbing your main livelihood or do you have another job? Do you work part time at the library and fill in your week with sub hours? Are you looking for full time work?

I sub in the HCL suburban branches, but work there has almost completely dried up. I sub in the HCL urban branches, and downtown, but there too, there are never enough hours. I'm averaging about 20 hours a week lately. It's a nice time of year to have extra time off, but I wish I could get more hours. I'm perpetually on the fence about going back to Dolphin Staffing, my other employer, to see what they have available.

How about you?

Hey, Andrea - I know we talked about doing this once upon a time. Thanks for putting it together!

There are never enough hours! I work maybe once a month, but only in the suburban HC libraries. Since I work so little, I don't check Aesop as much, which leads to less work...you get the picture!

Luckily, I also sub in Ramsey, which has led to more hours and some permanant time at Maplewood. I'm loving that.
