I have accepted that I am one of the last people to still use an iPod. I’m fairly certain it’s cursed, because it keeps turning on by itself, and charging it is a bear, but it’s mine. I just like having something that does one thing and one thing only, and that’s playing music. My… Continue reading Land of the Lost Technology

A Biting Mood
For the record, I did not actually bite anybody. It just – it had been a long week. I was so tired, and so crabby, and was trying really hard to provide good customer service without ripping someone’s head off. But I had run straight into a mental wall and was trying to scrape myself… Continue reading A Biting Mood
A Puddle of Emotions
I swear, I will get back to Drawtober eventually. I just needed to get this out of my head. Long story short: I got the job. Starting the week after next, I will be a full-time library circulation aide at a different branch in the system. And I have a lot of feelings about it.… Continue reading A Puddle of Emotions
Drawtober – Midnight Delivery (1/3)
Now who could it be, knocking on Sedgwick’s door this late at night? And what could he possibly be expecting? And why did I decide to draw background stuff? All excellent questions.
After the Interview
Had an interview last Thursday. No clue whether or not I’ll get the job. I do know that I left the interview wanting to crawl under the bed and become one with the dust bunnies, never to see the light of day (or people) again. Guess we’ll see.

At the Window
He would barge in through the front door, but the library’s still closed to the public. And Quincy is much too polite to break the rules.
Back to Work
Did I mention that Quincy’s taking this very seriously? ‘Cause he is. Side note: I am doing MUCH better which is a huge relief. Hopefully it means the surgery’s working.
Reading is Fun
We’ve been closed for over a month now. The e-mail letting our patrons know the library system was closing to the public was sent out in January. There are signs all over the door and parking lot telling people what to do to get their books. And yet, this. At this point, I don’t know… Continue reading Reading is Fun
Working from Home
Now, I know that I am super duper lucky to be employed right now. Believe me, it’s a relief to not have to think about unemployment. But it’s still not the same. I miss working with the books. I miss being at the returns desk. I even miss interacting with the patrons to an extent.… Continue reading Working from Home
