Ask a Staffer 25 - Jana!
E-Nazrin:
Psych research on the matter generally supports that money IS important, but only really to the point that you meet basic physical needs. Wealth for the sake of wealth doesn't help, and for the most part seeking it and/or power excessively is a warning sign for an unpleasant outlook/personality.
Alfred F. Jones:
What Mus said.
What is your favourite book to read on a rainy day with not much else to do?
What era of history would you like to teach me about? :3c
Jana:

Seems about right. My classes haven't touched upon that kind of thing, but it makes sense in my head-
Wait, I think I remember reading something about that in TIME magazine a few months back. :o

Mus is good peoples.
I don't read for pleasure as much anymore, unfortunately... It's always research during the school year. The last big novel I read was James Clavell's Shogun, and I recently re-read Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time. I would like to read The Universe in a Nutshell before the summer is through.
Being a big fan of Sengoku-era history, I'd say that. It's the only era in history I can think of with so many different factions at play, and with so many "heroes" and powerful personalities and political scheming. I don't think you're as into that kind of thing as me, though.
The Three Kingdoms era of Chinese history is a lot of fun too, but it's much more heavily romanticized (as if the Sengoku era wasn't enough already!). If you have spare time (like, 200 chapters of spare time), feel free to check out the novel. Alternately, play a heavily-fictionalized video game :V
Mimachiro:
Sweet, I get to ask stuff to someone I've met before. Yay! :3
How did you manage not to step on me at Otakon? (I was seriously expecting Jana foot sandwich for breakfast at least once)
If you could rule the world for a day, what would you do?
Where's the beef?
Tamer Anode/Cathode:
What did you think of your experience of working in a library, from what you've done of it?
What do you think of me aspiring to be a library professional?
What do you recommend for someone who's trying to expand their culinary horizons?
Why are you and Sana BFFs?
