Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Librarian Warlord

Continued ~ma, Drew.

connie, that near-miss must have been very scary.

I have a part time librarian who is very difficult to manage because (in my non-medical, unqualified opinion) I believe he has Asperger's or something similar. He was hired 15 years ago by my predecessor to work in Public Services and the difficult to manage part is that he just doesn't have that air of approachability one likes to find in their Reference Librarian when one has a question. The students complain about him and every Friday we have a discussion about how his behavior is off-putting. Today we discussed how he can't enter an occupied study room without knocking/saying anything and close the blinds. One of the first conversations I had with him was about how he couldn't turn all the lights off in the Reference room and close the blinds. I've now told him he's not allowed to touch any of the blinds in the library.

He needs to be let go, but the Big Boss won't let me get rid of him (yet).

I'm being cheery and positive about things around the house bit I'm weary and tired and sad. Also, I miss my Dad.

{{{ND}}} I really feel for you right now 'cause I know how hard it is to be really missing one parent while trying to be strong for the other one. You will get through this.

In happier news, I just got two batches that "absolutely, positively have to be there overnight" out the door. Of course, it was supposed to be three, but I'm only human people.

Oh, Drew. I hope you are able to mourn your dad and take care of you soon. Or have the freedom to cry or drink or freak out or do whatever you need to do.

My heart is breaking for you. I've seen too many (adult) children lose and mourn their fathers (relatively unexpectedly) this year. My thoughts are with you, with all of you. I'm so sorry.

{{{Drew}}} I hope you can get some time for yourself to mourn and rest soon. I can't imagine how hard it must be to pretend you are fine with all you're going through.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Colorado drivers license has been achieved. AND I registered to vote too! Woot.

Line was horrible, but all I had to do was take a vision test (no glasses, yay). Didn't have to do a written or drive test. So, now I have a California license with a hole in it and a paper Colorado license. I should get the real one in the mail in 1-4 weeks.

{{{Drew}}} I worry about the time when my mom will need that level of assistance. She is already losing her hearing and does not handle change well. This move has really stressed her out and I get all the fall out.

Gah, sorry for the meme there. Take care of yourself Drew. That is the only way you will be able to take care of anyone else. MWAH!

Go you! It took me about 18 months to do that and I only moved one state over.

I got dressed up tonight and we went out for a yummy dinner and a couple of drinks. I think I managed to break the awful, nasty mood I have been in for the past couple of weeks.
