- So, turns out my manager was serious about me running Honey Heist at our All Staff Day this year, so now I get to get paid for planning an rpg oneshot. Plus, a couple of my coworkers have already told me they're excited about it. Yay!
- The rest of our branch-specific Staff Day time is listed on our agenda as "Maker Lab - skill sharing while test new branch equipment" but is actually "bring whatever crafts you want to work on, maybe Sara will give us a quick knitting lesson, and we'll all learn how to use the Cricut machine". Considering that the whole-system part of the day will be entirely over Zoom and no one will be able to see us, I am planning to basically knit all day. My manager and I are considering it mild revenge for the thing where the Powers That Be banned hand crafts from All Staff Day 10 years ago.
- Yes, we are still bitter about it. (Especially for the past two in-person years, when all the table had complimentary fidget toys. But only approved non-productive fidgets are acceptable, apparently!)
- I now have a new tablet. Yay! My hold on She Who Became the Sun did indeed come in before it arrived, but I suspended the hold, so I'll get it again in a couple weeks. Which will give me time to finish the book I'm currently reading and have been waiting to continue on my tablet.
- After zooming through Children of Time and half of Children of Ruin on audiobook, my brain suddenly decided this week that I am no longer allowed to consume narrative via audio media. Podcasts aren't working either. It is very frustrating and I hope it clears up soon.
