\"DSCN2338\"<\/a>I’m really happy overall since the new year!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

By making significant changes<\/a> to INALJ’s site I am saving myself an incredible amount of time.\u00a0 Me: this year is unapologetically the year of ME giving\u00a0priority to\u00a0me, and not just INALJ.\u00a0 It is the year of insisting that my boundaries are respected.\u00a0 I am inflexible about the changes while running\u00a0INALJ (for now), and I have set boundaries that clearly state, do not contact me about the changes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Around October of last year I talked to my husband about the effort and time I was putting into INALJ and we both acknowledged without some income coming in from INALJ,\u00a0it really wasn’t going to be worth the time put in.\u00a0 I put out a call on PayPal<\/strong><\/a> & GoFundMe<\/strong><\/a> and INALJ’s fans came through!\u00a0 So I decided to continue, but with a major change.\u00a0 I was going back to the pdf version.\u00a0 I dislike\u00a0the pdf\u00a0as much as many others do<\/em>, sometimes my browser is slow loading it, it is clunky and not as useful as the pages were, but the time savings is significant for me\u00a0and that was what Sana, my husband, and I decided was important.<\/p>\n

That is right, WE are what matters in our lives.\u00a0 Our struggles with fertility matter.\u00a0 My health matters.\u00a0 My happiness matters.\u00a0 Sure, INALJ has helped a ton of LIS professionals and it will continue to, but now the time required is reasonable.<\/p>\n

No-one is owed INALJ.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

For some reason I have been running this site for 5+ years and yet our LIS associations, schools etc\u00a0have done nothing about making something similar prioritizing wide-net job harvesting and sharing.\u00a0 While I owe you nothing, your associations do.\u00a0 Reach out to them.\u00a0 I hope to make a fantastic connection with some organization this year and go back to the old way, or even better a new and better way of sharing the jobs.\u00a0 But if not, this is so much better a resource than I ever had and I am finally happy with my life and workflow and will continue as is in 2016 or at least, for now.<\/p>\n

See those smiles on our faces?\u00a0 THAT is MY 2016 and it is well earned.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PS: Should have also acknowledged that there is much gendered and sexist criticism about me specifically as I refuse to be “nice” and am “inflexible,” but I don’t owe anyone who sends unsolicited or harassing emails etc ‘nice.’\u00a0 Heck, I just don’t owe anyone nice period.<\/em><\/p>\n
