(Uh, just to be clear... we drove... the touch-down I refer to was the newspaper hitting the drive out there again this morning)

Now back to nothing but the regular fun on here...  |
Never been to South Carolina but did go to North Carolina in December of 1994 to interview with an African American law school library at North Carolina Central University. It is a traditionally African American school. Had not known that when I applied as I was applying for every job almost on the American Law Library Association hot line in the 1990s.
They did pay for my way there and back and put me up in a nice hotel.
Everything was going well until the Dean and Associate Dean accused me of lying on my resume. I had claimed I supervised two workers in document retrieval. Anyone working the reference desk does that as a matter of course. I worked the reference desk at times at the U of MN Law Library and the two student workers from the U of MN sometimes and actually often would ask me if they had picked up the right things as requested by some library user. This is in document retrieval. So-and-so wants some law from 1986 or whatever.
The NCCU law library director looked worried as she was there with me with the two Deans. She would have known that anyone doing reference work is usually involved in checking students work.
Still angers me that someone pulled the rug from out from under me in late 1994. And not for NOTHING.
I actually encountered a lot of this while fighting the powers that were in law librarianship in the 1990s.
