I accidentally sent my staff newsletter to everyone on my library newsletter mailing list.
*cries*
It was just “happy birthday” to one worker and here’s the schedule for this week, but sheesh. I feel stupid.

It’s nice when my one worker tells me about incipient snow storms. I don’t always pay attention and it’s no fun to wake up to a bunch of snow I wasn’t expecting.

Why are so many sports teams here incapable of doing alt-text?
You put some sort of effort into the graphics or pictures you are posting, yes? Add some value!

I got a compliment from our practice accompanist on my voice yesterday. Makes me feel good remembering that.

People are naming there fists things and it reminds me of the time, in a very confusing kitchen moment, I named my breasts Sam and Ella.
There were chicken cutlets involved and I don’t know exactly how it came to be, but there were were.
Please never address them directly.

I’m happy with my decision to get food before coming in to work to do some stuff I didn’t get done yesterday. I’m sure if I hadn’t, I’d have been here for hours, hungry, buckling down to finish.

Only three tenors at rehearsal today. I hit most of my notes. And a couple hit me.
My break is right around an F so sometimes I yodel unexpectedly like a boy going through puberty. My niece thinks it's hilarious. I'm less entertained.

Woah. Sometimes nasal spray is like kicking yourself in the face.
Woke up with my face feeling weird. Hoping some allergy medicine will alleviate that. My lip feels itchy, everything feels just a little swollen. My eyes don’t look bad but feel like they should be bloodshot.
Save me, Flonase!

I have a real joy sitting behind me today. She’s obviously the best at hockey.
Called Lizotte an idiot because he didn’t score on his little breakaway. Like, you realize there’s a goalie in the way, right? And a guy on his ass?
Lovely.

My forearms are angry.
I put together five tables on Wednesday and took two apart today. Just a lot of waggling a ratcheting socket wrench back and forth.
Apparently this isn’t a motion I make a lot. Couldn’t figure out why my wrists hurt so much yesterday, but I figured it out right quick today.

Clearly, I won Thanksgiving.
