I'm going to be attending and running the meetings of our student supervisors going forward since I manage the primary student supervising staff. However, the staff person who complains about my meetings ALL THE TIME told me how she's just SOOO glad I'll be running these meetings now.

Our student-affairs folks run a recurring “meet-and-greet” table for their VP w/ coffee, muffins, etc. Anyway, we’d moved all tabling events to a safer spot because the old location blocked an AED on the wall. Pretty straightforward safety call.

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, The Pegasus, when Riker walks into Picard's room (presumably Picard's quarters in this case)--what is it that Picard is eating? And why does it look like a MASSIVE feast? LOL

Sometimes I think about the Island of Misfit toys from that old Christmas movie and I think about that doll, whose only reason for being misfit was apparently her red hair.

At work, at the main service point, someone keeps hiding the kleenex tissues. We have nearly 50 students that work the service point and all of them are just *sniff sniff sniff* like they are coming down with the plague, yet all the tissues get hid away in cabinets in the back. Why???

Lordy, I document everything like I'm reporting on the fall of Rome! I have detailed reports on every project, all dated and time-stamped. All directives from my boss, and almost all correspondences cited and quoted. Future librarians will quote my work like Livy quoted the Senate decrees.

Someone said to me: "We once believed in God. Now we ask ChatGPT." But AI isn’t a new god. AI is a mirror, like the oracle or astrologer. It doesn’t reveal the future; it reflects us back to ourselves in data form. We are all still seeking meaning, just through a clearer reflection.

I the most distrubing dream last night. The odd part is, it wasn't a nightmare during the dream. I wasn't freighted or anything. But after waking up, the dream became more disturbing the more I thought about it.

So I’m told when staff ask me why management’s having us do a task, I’m not supposed to quote Charge Of The Light Brigade and say “Ours is not to reason why, ours but to do and die.”

My 4 year old pup and I are tight. I’ve had him since he was 9 months old. I have told him so many times that he is in his forever home with me, that it’s a fucking promise at this point. Wherever I go, he goes.
