David Bowie "ch-ch-ch-changes!"

I wrote this post in April, when there were so many proposed cuts to our staff you would have thought we were closing our doors:

There used to be a poster on the door of my father-in law's shop office. For those of you who remember back that far, or are Clint Eastwood filmophiles, it was a xerox of Dirty Harry complete with his large .44 Magnum and riffed off his signature tagline, "go ahead, make my day." My father-in-law is a die designer. He took care of the needs of the Big Three, and many other industries in need of fast, sure, capable support. He drew his designs on a draftsman's board, and any changes meant redrawing and drafting by hand, which I gather is a bitch. His poster of Dirty Harry on the door of his office read, "Go ahead! Make another change!" This poster has represented my feelings exactly lately. In just a few short months, I have gone from being a fantastically successful high school teacher librarian to a barely holding-on "extraneous" employee. So, go ahead. "make another change." I'm a designer too. I will figure it out.
