Just got a call from the dean -- I'm being tenured and promoted to Associate Librarian!! 🎉 I am excited, exhausted, overwhelmed, and deeply aware of all the support -- at work, from colleagues, from family -- that I've had between my start here in Sept 2017 and today.Permalink On twitter.com

without so many coworkers like the development team, I would never have been able to "accomplish" the things that made up the Librarianship part of my tenure dossier.Permalink On twitter.com

without colleagues in the field, I wouldn't have learned and grown nearly as much, and so many things on my CV are done with others.Permalink On twitter.com

and without Micah to cheer me on AND keep me grounded, I would've been a kite with no tail and no line, just turning end over end (and also many friends who've helped me through periodic freakouts and meltdowns).On twitter.com

And like 10,000 people at work who read my dossier and gave feedback. I also know there are external letter writers out there of whose existence I'm aware but not their names, etc., who put in time to read stuff and write letters which the evidence suggests were very supportivePermalink On twitter.com

I wish I could share this news with my Mom, who's been dead since before I started library school. I only exist because, at my age, she didn't get tenured and promoted -- she had to leave Canada, her friends, her career, everything. Married my dad. Had me.Permalink On twitter.com
