Maybe Not Updating the Library
December 4, 2012 § 2 Comments
Working as a labor attorney for the Army in my initial JAG assignment, I took for granted the library provided for me (at taxpayer expense). I never looked at prices. I ordered what I needed. Questions were never asked.
Today, I thought I’d shop for the latest copy of a favorite federal labor treatise.
I said to myself, “Self, it will probably only be $50 to $70.”
Self was wrong.
Heh. Welcome to the real world. Maybe you can find a used copy if you don’t need the latest and greatest.
I’ve learned to appreciate libraries much more than before.
