My name in lights

Even though I have a straightforward-sounding job--photo researcher--no one ever knows what that means. Why should they? It's not a very common job, you never hear about it in the news or in movies, and I'm probably the only one that my friends will ever know. But, blimey, we just got a mention on the 6/62005 issue of TIME in an article about how fat and lazy Americans are: Even a low impact job like research librarian no longer involves much reaching, bending and pulling tomes from the stacks--not when you can let your fingers do the walking on the keyboard.

Okay, so I'm not technically a research librarian anymore, but I still feel like now I actually exist, where as before I was just a phantom...
