<p class="MsoNormal">The process has taken WAY longer than anticipated. Hiring in the summer is always a hassle but everyone kept taking vacations or getting sick!<br>
<br>
We are doing interviews this week and anticipate making an offer late next week. That would mean, in theory, we should have someone in place by Oct. 16.<o:p></o:p></p>

Don’t even get me started on the consortium budget and invoices. I need to spend some quality time yelling at Ex Libris’ accounting dept.
