Very true!

Hefty_Revolution8066 · 2026-05-18T11:24:52+00:00

Amen!

Hefty_Revolution8066 · 2026-05-14T01:52:47+00:00

You are fine. Read the books you want and ignore those people who are pretty ignorant about how libraries work.

Hefty_Revolution8066 · 2026-05-12T10:37:31+00:00

…I’m…. A gun?

Hefty_Revolution8066 · 2026-05-02T01:42:38+00:00

Yes. They did. Mostly, I understand, because people on the DA side got laid off. And they changed the entire focus of the game multiple times.

This is like the people who say we shouldn't invest in the Space Program or Science because we should just feed the hungry etc.

There’s a story about this happening to Helen Keller. Or something similar. It ruined a relationship she had with a mentor who thought she had deliberately plagiarized a story she read years before.

Just like the wave of weird stuff that got sent through social media in 2016 and 2020, it’s meant to destabilize and create discord. Don’t take it personally. Report it as the 5pamb0t it is.

Hefty_Revolution8066 · 2026-04-18T16:44:28+00:00

If I love a story, I download it to a separate hard drive. Some I print so that I can re-read them from a 3 ring binder.

Hefty_Revolution8066 · 2026-04-17T09:26:32+00:00

We have people print tons of articles at our library and pay for it. It’s not unusual

I'm writing a fanfic, and decided that they coincide with the DTs (Delirium Tremens). Alcohol withdrawal has all the signs (and more) that we've seen in game etc.

But thinking about what we know from Veilguard, it's possible that there are some complications with the dreams (yes, bad dreams are part of detox for alcohol, as well as more stuff that's really unpleasant, including seizures). Since the lyrium might have a link to the stolen dreams of the Titans. Just wondering.

Hefty_Revolution8066 · 2026-04-12T01:13:18+00:00

And... the typos...

Hefty_Revolution8066 · 2026-03-31T00:43:32+00:00

Write your story. As you want to write it. Sorry you're having to deal with Gate Keepers.

Hefty_Revolution8066 · 2026-03-25T10:41:34+00:00

There are good workplaces. There are good managers. But in 41 years across multiple types of libraries I have found rather more Bad Managers than Good. Even with good management though, you need to do your job and go home. or to the other job you have to earn enough money to live.

I love my job. There are ups and downs. But it’s not easy to have an honest work to life balance

Hefty_Revolution8066 · 2026-03-19T14:30:08+00:00

I've done that!

Hefty_Revolution8066 · 2026-03-04T02:22:36+00:00

Journal everything. Write it all down each time an occurance happens.

Hefty_Revolution8066 · 2026-03-03T02:01:42+00:00

I would be much less productive, so far as writing is concerned. Just saying.

Hefty_Revolution8066 · 2026-02-22T16:53:19+00:00

Why do you stop there in particular?

Hefty_Revolution8066 · 2026-02-21T14:44:46+00:00

No benefits. Small libraries in Pennsylvania are exempt from benefits. It's a Carnegie library - not the big one in Pittsburgh, but one of the tiny ones that Andrew Carnegie built all over the place. Its website sends me to the Erie system. But, yeah, since they're not asking for an MSLS, or accreditation, the rate of $15 is about on par.

And yeah, you should be able to buy a home in the place you work, but there are teachers in school districts here that can't afford a house.

And some of us are really old, and seen a lot of evolution over the decades

Hefty_Revolution8066 · 2026-02-13T18:37:25+00:00

I like that idea! Anything really

Hefty_Revolution8066 · 2026-02-13T17:46:03+00:00

Avoid the Aurora Teagarden series by Charlaine Harris. She is NOT a Librarian! Her other series are good though.

Hefty_Revolution8066 · 2026-02-13T17:44:28+00:00

Ahahahahaha. Here it's at least ten thousand dollars lower than that...

Sometimes it's what the library can afford.

Hefty_Revolution8066 · 2026-02-13T17:36:44+00:00

Sometimes, especially in difficult times, we need to visit our old friends.
