I haven't had Laotian food in so long, I forgot how devastatingly spicy it could be. 🥲

Did my part to celebrate Pi Day.

I thought I had indigestion after dinner on Sunday. It turns out to have been the start of the flu, which I'm just now starting to recover from. 🤒

Sike! I'm still sick!

I like how I'm watching a show about former government agents with superpowers being hunted down by an assassin, who also has powers, and kids with powers who are being secretly assessed and potentially recruited to join the government agency and there's a disclaimer at the beginning of every episode that none of this is based on truth and everything is fiction.

Labor Day

I am very grateful for this slow day at work so that 1. I can recover from my foot surgery without feeling stressed and 2. Get through the 100 Safe Schools trainings that get assigned two weeks before the deadline to complete them.

Just chilling at the lake with my iced tea latte and bagel sandwich.

After the humidity, sweltering heat, and thunderstorms of this past week, today is just too perfect. I came home and spent the next two hours in my hammock at the local park.

Is this normal?

I'm waiting at the hospital for my dad to be discharged and he needs clearance from three doctors in different specialities to make sure that he's really okay to leave.

I got here at 10:30. It's a little after 1pm and we're still waiting on the last doctor.

a question for the library workers of tumblr: how annoying is it to put a book on hold and pick it up at a branch other than the one where the book currently is?

the Seattle public library has many branches, and it would be more convenient for me if I could just always pick up the books I want at the library closest to my home. the library website allows you to do that. but how annoying is this for library staff? i know that some library patrons need this service because they have trouble traveling further due to work schedules/ disability/ childcare responsibilities/ etc, so it's important the service exists. but aita if i use the service purely because it's convenient when i don't need it to access the books?

As a librarian who does something similar every day: not annoying at all. If anything, I’m thrilled that someone out there wants to read our books so much, they asked for them by name!

Library systems are built to make that sort of sharing as efficient as possible. Go ahead, request that book!

Not annoying at all! We treat it like any other hold: someone gets the notification and pulls the book off the shelf, then scans it into the computer. Instead of putting it on the hold shelf, it just gets a label saying which library it’s going to, and we put it in the box that is headed that direction.

We also encourage patrons to place holds on books at other libraries in our system because our primary goal is to get people the materials they are looking for!

Go forth and use your libraries. We are literally here because people check things out, and place holds when the stuff is not available.

Chicago is so big, there's no way I would be able to drive to some of the other branches to pick up my holds. I am also ashamed to say that I'm not always that good at picking up my holds from my home library, either. 😅

You know, I consider myself to be a fairly intelligent human, but I completely forgot to take into account that the amount of vegetables (potato, bell pepper, and cauliflower) I decided to add to this chicken thighs with curried cabbage and chickpeas would increase the overall volume of ingredients and I would need to compensate by adding in more coconut milk.

I guess I'll find out if I end up with curried vegetables or if everything just ends up getting roasted with a slight curry flavor.

Yesterday, after working out, I decided that I needed to get some groceries after being out of town for a week. Since I couldn’t take a shower, I just changed my shirt, but instead of changing my shirt in the bathroom or the shower, I waited until I got to the parking garage of the Whole Foods. For some reason, I thought parking garage=privacy, which was totally untrue because as soon as I took off my shirt, a car pulled in to the parking spot right next to me (on the passenger side, thank goodness). I didn’t dare turn my head to look in the driver’s direction, so who knows if we crossed paths inside the store. So that was my mildly embarrassing moment of the day.

Why did the hospital announce that there is a severe thunderstorm watch until 5pm three times? What am I supposed to do with this information?

Omg, if you're going to start late because you are disorganized, then you absolutely do not need to try to complete everything on the agenda with absolute fidelity in regards to time. You are allowed to cut some things short!

Absolutely love arriving for my weekly check-in with my manager, only for her to pick up a package, unbox it, put away its contents, and then go fill up her water bottle whole I'm waiting.

#that's cool #i guess my time isnt as valuable
