All-purpose information wrangler with an MLIS. These days, electronic resources librarian (née acquisitions); those days, marketing and comms of various kinds.
Returned a $120 standing order volume for a production issue on the cover, and the replacement has the exact same problem. Did they just send me back the same book, or did an entire cover print run have zero quality control?
There's somebody fighting with many signs, but especially the bus signs, on my neighborhood arterial. He keeps painting over the rider information on the pole and sticking cardboard or clothing over the route numbers. I am so tired of your delusions, buddy!
Unacceptable enumeration. Just drop to three issue per year and quit it with this nonsense! God!
What a typtical New Yorker sounds like when they can't find the Contact Us page of another jurisdiction's public library.
Why does this always have to be true about absolutely everything? Talk about a disappointing affirmation.

Really enjoyed -Meeting New People-, which is sprinkled with toothsome little morsels like this.
Ah, yes, who doesn't want to rend hommage to the basket Pump de Reebok???

Texted my friend that I woke up in an awful mood. She's listening to the Cure and cleaning out closets and counseled doing the same. Me, at the exact same time, already cleaning with my 1992 playlist going:
Treated my mom to DQ after she wouldn't let me pay for the schmancy Mother's Day dinner, and this was the sky over the drive thru.
Whenever I handle incoming Loeb Classical Library volumes, I feel, for just a second, like I'm in a period movie. Like A Room with a View, or maybe The Remains of the Day.
This article in the new issue of Artforum is so depressing I want to just lie down in my office and never get up.
I was all, now why does that name ring a bell, and did a search in my texts. 😆 (I've never had the pleasure.)
How is he one of the world's most influential people if I don't know who tf he is?
Had the most delicious pear yesterday, which I had chosen because I didn't recognize the name, but now I've forgotten the name. The other one of the pear doesn't have a sticker. Google Lens says Bosc, but that wouldn't have been novel and the skin is different. Any ideas out there?
