In which Shaun learns something significant late in Feed that he canonically doesn't find out until Deadline, and everything goes very (very, very) differently.
oursin) wrote2025-08-21 07:29 pmA few days ago Ask A Manager posted stories of co-workers overstepping their expertise.
And I guess this is not quite the same thing but I had a massive flashback to That Morning of Hours I Will Never Get Back when the whole library staff had a session with an outside consultant.
I am honestly not sure what the rationale was for having us give up an entire morning of our precious closed period - during which we did all - well, seldom actually all, but as many as we could manage - of those essential backroom housekeeping tasks which cannot be undertaken when the place has actual readers coming in and USING THE COLLECTIONS dammit.
Possibly we had either just undergone, or were just about to undergo, one of the restructurings of which I saw many during my years there, distinct from the physical relocation upheavals.
But anyway, consultant.
Had consultant been briefed? Had consultant done any due diligence about what sort of institution this was?
Okay, did know it was a LIBRARY.
Had not the slightest apprehension that this was a world-renowned RESEARCH collection and that, you know, we were not lending out books and stamping them with return dates (I am not sure that this practice, by the date in question, even pertained in public libraries).
We were sitting there cringeing and wincing, wondering when it would all be over.
Were we not very restrained by not going, in huge chorus, in the manner he would doubtless have anticipated we learnt as part of our professional training, SSSSSHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUSSSSHHHHHH!!!!?

There're a few details that need doing (buffing out some paint marks, moving the furniture back in, that kind of thing), but the floor is pmuch done! Finally! \o/ This pleases kitty. Both kitties, actually. And also me. Three kitties. Yessss.
Also holy shit did you know my bed-couch is SUPER COMFORTABLE? Because it is. Technically the one in the spare room is actually a bed - it's the fold-away kind, and mine's just a standard two seater but!!!! It is SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE OMG I'm love it.
I have however hit a snag on sitting at my desk - APPARENTLY, sometime while I've been stuck in the spare room, my legs decided they didn't need to worry about my usual sitting positions, and now that I'm back where I normally sit they're aching. :/ :/ :/ To be fair I do sit in a lot of weird positions, and they're specifically complaining about being braced against the edge of the desk, which has a bunch of my weight behind it at least half the time... BUT STILL. C'MON LEGS. You didn't USED to complain about this, and it hasn't been THAT long!!!
Anyway back to my super! comfortable! and snuggly! couch yesssss, is nap tiem nao.

canuckfetish. cosmolinguist) wrote2025-08-21 06:44 pmWe're going to be on vacation from the 16th to the 25 of September.
The other day I blocked this time out in my calendar. The most accessible way to do this involves inputting the start and end dates.
Today I was asked about a meeting for a random Tuesday in October and when I went to see whether or not I was free, I saw that whole day I was showing as "on leave." And the Monday before it. I'm not aware of any reason I'd have time off then!
Zooming out and every day was showing as on leave. Every day that month.
I investigated and, instead of making the vacation last until the 26th of September, I'd somehow gotten it to be the 26th of December.
My burned-out brain just wants an extra three months off, heh.
