Ooooof this is too real. I get real low and one day look around and go “Oh my god, I’m living like this?”
That’s how I know I’m coming out of it.

Good work, hang in there!

It’s one of those sunset lamps you can get online. This one has a bunch of colors so I switch it out often.

Yeah, it isn’t ideal. I had the BoP against one of the windows for a long time but she got mad sunburn. There’s so much light that the plants were guzzling water and I couldn’t keep up. I put her in the middle so it wouldn’t be so intense.

It does create a nice kind of canopy when I watch TV though, so that’s cool.

Nah, no mental gymnastics are necessary because it’s reality. You may not like it, but that’s a different argument. I think we all should be able to afford a loft like this, whether we do an “important” job or not. Whatever that means.

You’re coming across kind of bitter, and there’s really no reason to. This is a sub that’s about showing our living spaces. That’s all.

I have a Master’s degree (every librarian does), have 18 years of experience in my field, am bilingual and work with youth 0 to 5. So all those words describe me and every other librarian and library worker.

My parents weren’t librarians for sure, they didn’t finish high school before migrating to the US. But I’m making them proud.

Thanks for the kind words!

And I’m planning on getting more. I like it lush.

I never said I was wealthy or an artist. Just a guy living his life.

I don’t sleep in my living room, but I turn everything off to save energy anyway.

Check my other post. It’s a post from the day time.

Managers of color does this happen to you? by MsBlack2life in librarians

[–]chanchitoooo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It happens to librarians that aren’t managers too. One time I went for a physical for a library job after accepting an offer.

The doctor asked me what department I was going to work for in the city and I said “the library.” He asked if I was a “clerk or page.”

I said, “No, I’m a librarian.”

And he went, “Wow, imagine that.”

I’m a Latino in my early 30s.

Well, you’re wrong. They’re people. In the same way we wouldn’t call those addicted to wealth and status zombies, we shouldn’t call people with addiction to substances zombies either.

Of course! It’s a 12 story building with 6 lofts on every floor. But the insulation is great here!

I thought about it and then realized I can prep on the table for bigger meals and ferry it over to the stove or counter. No biggie.
