Is it too soon to make fun of unemployed archivists? I sure hope not!
Sorry about the hiatus, Derangers–had a new archivist experience of my own that left me pretty demoralized. But I’m not going to let a few rusty staples in the vast collection of archivists ruin this great comic we have going here.

psst…. new, unemployed archivists are also in their 30s and 40s… I reckon there are unemployed archivists in their 50s and 60s, too, but whether they are “new or not….

Title is from this NYTimes article. Yes, there are unemployed archivists of all ages–and new archivists, too.

88 rejections by Dee Dee? That’s nothing. Last I checked, I had sent out 140 job applications. I hope I don’t hit 200.

there’s some sort of light at the end of the tunnel! After looking for 3 years, I finally got a 2 yr project position. The dream lives! LOL
