Nothing like getting a "usually i get a copy of X" from someone who never requested a copy of X during the year we have been working together. (This is a library adjacent subtweet but is not about a coworker.)

Jeff: "The vet was impressed with her (Navi's) rage."
She's ok, she was having some back end issues and we wanted to rule out anything more serious. Working theory is age (same babe) or mild jump related injury.

TIL Keyboarding/typing can only be taught to 7-12th graders by a licensed business education teacher in Wisconsin.
That explains why there are so many business education teachers...

what makes NYC one of the greatest cities in the world in the same way London and mumbai are is that nothing ever fazes the people in these places. A guy dressed as a rat carrying a slice of pizza bigger than the average child? Sidestep, take the railing go about your day and never think of it again

Guess who has to drive 40 miles to go renew their plates because the SoS can't verify my insurance online?
(That's the closest office that has an appointment before they expire.)
(Note: this is like 80% my fault but also apparently the offices just...don't do walk ins anymore?)

A library thing the surprised me:
A not insignificant number of our children's CDs have circulated within the last 18 months.
I work at a university so it's not like we are collecting for small humans to use themselves. And none of our students have CD drives in their computers anymore.

...okay.
So.
Columbia's campus actually has a history of storming the library for MANY reasons. Including the night before the organic chemistry exam.
So I just feel like this is going to be a really interesting situation.

We give out popcorn to students at the end of the semester (delightful!).
The only problem?
The popcorn maker is outside my office and now my whole life smells like popcorn and it is delicious.

(My mom had me c-sectioned because her doctor was going on vacation and she REALLY disliked murder-doctor.)

Just renewed my lease and immediately was woken up by people being obnoxious outside my window.

Don’t shame people for not immediately reading all the books they buy. Some books aren’t made to be ready right away, okay? Some books need time to mature. Some books need to cure for a while. Some books are prosciutto, and don’t you forget it.
