I choose unwisely pretty much every time.

Unfortunately this is the “please no alcohols” type of pain that also makes me nauseous. I do have other types of pain that are just fine with cocktails.

It was in my wedding vows, and also I sometimes enjoy the sports.

Day off tomorrow and then work this weekend.

Who needs exercise when you can feel like you've run a marathon after having an awful few days of head and gut pain, limited sleep and sitting in uncomfortable chairs, am I right?

Twitter since 2009 for me, 2006ish on facebook, 2007ish instagram.

That's an excellent way of looking at it.

Jen the Feisty Librarian @feistywaters.com · 10h

That’s definitely part of it but I’ve been doing feisty librarian things on social media for about 16 years and the oatmeal thing only started 4 years ago.

Jen the Feisty Librarian @feistywaters.com · 11h

Thank you but no :)

It was a delightful couple days of “oh hi Jen the Feisty librarian!” chats at the conference, because the internationally famous locally thing really does have strong ties to the library community.

If you’re referring to the Albertans who’d rather separate and be Americans, perhaps.

Jen the Feisty Librarian @feistywaters.com · 12h

So. Much. Irony.

Jen the Feisty Librarian @feistywaters.com · 13h

Preaching to the converted over here, but the other 400 people at the conference could benefit from some of that advice :)

Jen the Feisty Librarian @feistywaters.com · 13h

Yuck. And no, we’ve learned nothing.

Jen the Feisty Librarian @feistywaters.com · 13h

I’ve seen the same 5 people masked today, of 400ish people. With lotsa coughs.

Excellent!

Ok let’s keep the chants to a minimum or I might unsign my name from the petition :)

Jen the Feisty Librarian @feistywaters.com · 16h

I found her around 3pm yesterday.

Jen the Feisty Librarian @feistywaters.com · 16h

Finally signed the Forever Canadian petition, so maybe that’s me admitting I’m an Albertan (and not just a west coast girl living in Alberta for 20 years).

Also 4 of the 5 masked people I saw yesterday were clearly colleagues and I kinda want to know where they work.

Jen the Feisty Librarian @feistywaters.com · 19h

Yup. I talked to a lovely library worker the conference yesterday who thanked me for masking and said that she probably should be masking too as she’s recovering from cancer …

I’m very tired and hurty and not really sure how I’ll make it through another day of conference but I’m gonna try.

Can we blame capitalism and chronic illness on republicans and conservatives too? Because it would be nice to have someone to blame for both those things.

For a minute there I thought you said Zohran, and no to both :)
