Me: *going past governor’s mansion* My brain: don’t do it don’t do it don’t do it don’t do it Me: “Owdee GuvNAH” Manny: “THERE it is.” 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I had to turn of the “time to stand up!” prompts on my watch because they didn’t offer a “sorry, I have cats on my lap” mute button option.

Wait, what. We were played on The Current?

A company who provides basic domestic energy services shouldn’t have so much money they can name a stadium after them.

Finding out being a librarian means that even if you don’t know something either, you need to learn it thirty seconds before you teach it to someone else, most of the time while they watch.

Don’t quote a podcast at me as an authoritative source. Give me their reference. I didn’t go to library school to trust Brad knows everything about quantum physics but has time to talk about it into a microphone weekly.

Amusing myself while on the service desk at the library reading google reviews of different library locations. Who reviews a library?

Going from high-end retail to public libraries was the best choice. I feel 100% less compromised in my personal values on a daily basis. Helping someone find what they want is so much more rewarding.

Any of you people who were complaining last night that there wasn’t enough snow can come plow my driveway.

At my commencement ceremony today, the student speaker was a computer science undergrad from the School of Engineering, and he said we only have like a hundred tomorrows and a handful of todays and I wonder what he learned that I didn’t.

Finished and turned in my last assignment for grad school yesterday, it was graded at 100% today. Feeling pretty good.

Down to the last two classes for my degree and they couldn't be more different. One is methodical with an accompanying lecture to support the readings. The other is pure chaos, with chapters double-assigned and the wrong chapter numbers listed on the syllabus. No lecture.

Them: “How do you last a whole day at the Fair?” Me: <currently sitting at a table on the O’Gara’s patio bipodding the Twins game on noise cancel>

Still not used to living in Saint Paul. Out on the deck and can vaguely hear live music. It took me too long to realize it’s The Beach Boys at the Grandstand. Three and a half miles away. How bonkers and delightful.
