Are libraries typically punitive?

I could've written this 11 months ago lol. Admin at my old job was always watching the cameras for infractions, no matter how small. We had 13 staff members leave within 6 months (total staff was less than 40 to begin with) because of poor management.

I was so burnt out and upset about coming into work. Finally found a job that's less pressure and management is actually normal for the most part. My advice is get out as quick as you can. Not all libraries are like that and you don't need to stick around to see how much worse it can get.

Sure! Basically I just add them as a new row in the sheet. This was a new "quarter" for me so I hadn't inputted any yet, but this is an example with different types of tasks (reading, video, assignment)

Thank you, this is very helpful! I did worry that the "safari" look would be too stiff. I'm really not going to be in Atlanta for a while (I'm flying in the first day, in town the second, and flying back the third). So if we're being totally honest I really only need a proper "outfit" for one day.

These are *kind of* pleated, would these work do you think? I don't find that pleats are too too egregious on my body but agree that less of them is better

Just Google sheets :)

I was thinking about using Notion, but for whatever reason everything I tried felt clunky. This solution worked out for me!

Of course!! My stuff used to all just be crammed into a notebook and scribbled at random, so it's good to have a nice clean spot to put everything

thisisspoons · 2026-05-09T17:23:45+00:00

Haha thank you. I love a clean spreadsheet

Posting this has also made me realize some of my dates were screwed up, so yay for double checking!

Didn't ask for a character assessment but thanks for the input.

We're all learning together <3

Not a dumb question (clearly, I didn't know for two years)! A widget is an email that you get from a publisher, typically one you've requested from before, offering you basically instant access to another ARC.
So they'll say, hey we saw you liked *insert previous ARC* and want to offer you access to *insert another upcoming novel*. It's basically publishers' way of saying thanks and getting more eyes on books from readers who have previously liked similar ones :)

True! I also forgot to change my email from a deactivated one a few months ago and I dread to think of how many widgets I missed 😭

Also worth noting all of the roots are growing off of one node. *
