How about a "jobber"? That's right, when you grow up, you can be a jobber. In learning vocabulary for one of my Library Science classes, I found out that jobbers fill orders for libraries by stocking them with materials they have purchased directly from the publishers, getting huge discounts which they then pass onto the libraries. I just think the word is funny: jobber, jobber, jobber. Now I know I've lost my mind!
In a related note, I have to come up with a topic to do a major paper on in my technology class. It has to be related in some way to technology, so if anyone has any possible ideas, feel free to pass them along.

How about blogging? :)
DUH, that is related to technology. I never thought about that! Yay, I think I might have my topic. Thanks Bob!
Jobber: I was familiar with that terms as it relates to retail. When my Aunt had a children's clothing store, she would see whatever was left after a "clearance" to a "jobber" who sold it at outlets. So, I guess for the library, it is sort of the same thing...weird.
Yes, so a paper about blogging! It is ever so relevant and might actually hold your interest (vs. the how to make a web page stuff) :)
