Clearly Unmotivated at the Prospect of Networking
I need to just accept that I will never, ever, make it to one of the NY Metro Librarians Meet-ups.
My excuse when I worked in the ‘burbs was that the meetings were in New York (at Chipotle!) and I really didn’t want to get on a train for forty minutes to eat a burrito and mingle with other librarians. In the middle of the week. It was a valid excuse, I always thought.
My excuse now is that I would rather get on a train for forty minutes and go home/go to the gym instead of mingling with librarians. (I might have gone, just for the sake of the burrito, except they moved it to some book/cafe) It’s not so much a valid excuse now, so obviously, no matter how fun it seems in the abstract, I simply have no burning desire to talk to complete strangers in a cramped restaurant.
When I put it that way, it almost makes perfect sense.
