Me: can we not give IT renewal powers over the EBSCO renewal, they'll mess it up. Everyone: It'll be fiiiiiiiiiiiiine. Today: it was not fine. Not fine at all.

Well now I want porridge.
The terrible sequel to Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Love the start of term and tutors making up their own things about the library. I was just introduced as a receptionist.
Is he AI?
Oh, is that why they're called Baker days? I had no idea!
I had to ask some students not to film TikToks in the library before 9.30am. Is it half term yet?
I have said no a lot, and explained exactly why I'm saying no.
First proper day of term for us today. First real test of how the team will work now we're down 3 members of staff. I'm dreading it.
I was v tempted to give her a detailed rundown of our love life in reply 🤣
Some mince pies?
Same.
My kids love reading because her dad (who died years before I met Simon) loved reading. There is no other reason.
What an absolute cow bag
MIL been here for less than five minutes and made wildly inappropriate comments about me being pregnant and has done the whole the children take after her side of the family routine already.
It's the day before term starts at work. My head is full of things that need to be done, and my MIL is coming for the day. Love a relaxing weekend!
I can
Me and my bin bags are very proud of you!
It's just paper. It'll come back in the next life as a new book that people *do* want to read!
Recycle them
I only got two digestives in my three pack this week. WHATS GOING ON?
You are a marvelous rebel and I love you
As if by magic. If magic was waiting for 3 weeks for the building to be handed over.
The crates have been moved. I don't know where they've gone to, if they don't turn up in the new library I don't even care at this point. They've gone from the current library and that's all that matters.
One teeth bleaching too many I fear
Crates still haven't been moved
I AM SO STRESSED
Whose got two thumbs and a raging headache and a library full of boxes that should have been moved this morning. THIS GUY.
Paging @manvsbaby.bsky.social
Oh this is so tough! You can't win, but trust me, you're doing nothing wrong. Because I know from experience that doubt will start to creep in.
Those are bin bags full of body parts and you know it.
Someone took my northerners against nazis sticker down and put another flag up. So I took the flag down and put another sticker up. Getting extra joy out of putting the flags I take down in the dog shit bin.
HIYA
Took two down yesterday, stuck a Northerners against Nazis sticker on the one I couldn't reach.
Mogpie is a better magpie than the magpies
He came back in the consultation room and lay on the floor like he was on his holidays 🤣 vet looked like she'd been dragged through a hedge!
He was too wiggly for bloods to be taken today, so we have gabapentin and another appointment next week. Possible mass in/near his bladder, but he's happily purring and pleased my mum is here so he can sit on her.
He's lost a kilo in 2 months, possible mass in his bladder, bloods next week because he was too wriggly to get them today!
Taking the cat to the vets as he's gotten very elderly very quickly and I don't like it.
This is Tuffy. He is the only example of taking up the whole sidewalk that is not only justifiable, but encouraged. 14/10 (IG: mypittuffy)
Dream Lorna has far too much time on her hands.
But when they got together, it was…
I'm listening with one ear at work!
Same - I've got a friend who lives in Suffolk and we always make one show somewhere (depending on what fits in with childcare needs, rocka nd roll!) and I'll throw in a couple of little cheeky Yorkshire dates too :)
Are they on top of your head? I quite often do that.
Argh! Just realised that I never got back to you! Are you still up for swaps?
Had tickets for the original tour, got ill. Had a newborn for the ten year. Third time lucky?!
All of my skills being stolen!
Yet another example of AI stealing my work. If you need excel calculations breaking, ask me.
Hoping for a tour announcement 🤞
Can anyone in library or archive land help with this? Please RT #Skybrarians
I'm not doing that last five concerts thing, because I get to go out once in a blue moon and they've all been Maximo Park so 🤷♀️
If I hold the food bowl up to his face he'll eat it, do this makes sense.
Any advice on feeding a deaf cat with no sense of smell appreciated.
Sending all the good thoughts your way! All of them!
I've heard the second part but can't remember it. Hi, I'm helpful!
Today in old age ailments my cat has suddenly developed: pretty sure he's lost his sense of smell.
Is there actually no-one in the UK Library landscape who wants to become Chair of the CILIP LGBTQ+ Network, or are we just not getting the message out. I can't continue - way to much going on, but without a chair, the network folds... If you've been mulling it over, now is the time to get in touch!
New library is FIT. I would absolutely marry it.
In my Alex now has bigger feet than me Era.
YOU tidy the library, I'm tired!
I finally get to visit the new library space on Monday!
Ours beeps constantly during this period. BEEP. Empty me, ha ha YOU CAN'T. BEEP.
This was me last week!
Ummmmmmm
BLIMEY!
I don't even have my own stapler. I have to SHARE.
But there's a cat picture in there right. Right?
I can remember this programme very clearly!
I hate that libraries are still forced to do this.
Just write 'death by admin' on my gravestone
You can tell by that haircut that he's trouble.
If you get chance I'd love a photo of the library to see how it's changed since I left. But no rush 🙂
I'm so pleased to hear this!
Stupid words!
It's chimney with me. Chimney. Chimney. Embezzle that Chimney
Bonus: there is a giant Wes Streeting piñata
Sheffield! Our next big stupid drag cabaret extravaganza is on 30 August! Tickets £10 low income/£12 standard/£15 supporter. Full night of entertainment plus raffle, Robbie Williams and Star Trek. Tickets: bit.ly/4me1Jzy
Huge love to all of you and a gentle boop for the old lady
Had you chosen an orange cover for it as well?
I hate summer.
The HORROR
Oh I saw that too!
Easter Eggs on insta from @maximopark.bsky.social and Taylor Swift. What a day!
Do I know anyone working in the library school at Sheffield Uni?
Week off, straight in to a day of back to back interviews. What could possibly go wrong?!
Pillow cases were invented for a reason. You're doing grand.
Dough balls from Pizza Express YES Pizza Express Dough balls from Tesco NO 😭🤣
Dora doesn't like pizza. I KNOW!
Instant on means instant viewing! Sign me up! I'll take two!
I cut the heads off and leave them on the ground.
Well we're back home, back to living opposite a car park and not the sea. STUPID REAL LIFE.
Urgh. Bodies. Glad you're feeling better today 😊
Ovulation pain?
Today is the stupidest Connections of all time.
Orcwyen you have to wear a vile sports bra because it's the only one in your size and you wish you were dead, or boobless. V sacred.
I had to do my uni work on the very top floor where it was All Tables and No Books.
June this year saw my 35th year working as a librarian in academic libraries. So of course I’ve marked by getting two library tattoos 😍 #library #librarian #tattoo
Oh I love this and you are now my super cool hero.
Do I need to point to the 'are you overcommiting to things again?' sign?
