Smarmy emcee: "A bachelorette!...do you have a job, love?"
Me: "Yes! I'm an archivist!"
Emcee: "And what do you archive?"
Me: "Holocaust testimonies!"
And that, my friends, is how I made a burlesque show interlude awkward.
I need to make a Github repo titled "Janky Jank" for the stuff I make for absolutely, stupidly bonkers workarounds.

I should not put songs from musicals on my playlists because it's taking every bit of self-control to not dramatically sing along while students are in the office.

Behold. My amazing new Weird Al shirt.
ALT Me looking at the camera. I am wearing a black t-shirt screen printed with a vintage "Weird Al" Yankovic logo from his first album, Weird Al playing on the accordion, and the phrase "I'll Be Mellow When I'm Dead."

I had this weird thing growing up where the things I could watch were heavily policed, but I could pretty much read whatever I wanted. My parents were very contradictory in general.
Did your parents monitor/police your reading? And if so, at what age did it stop? I certainly didn’t get any input from when I started choosing/buying my own books, maybe age 10 or 11, and I can’t remember ever being told “not that” when I wanted a book from a shop or library.

My soul joyously becomes one with the universe when "Temple of Love" by the Sisters of Mercy comes on at the goth night and I can let loose.
Apparently the 7 drunk preppy dudes who wandered in from the downstairs bar and jumped in a circle while chanting feel the same way.

Good morning from a meme I made in 2020 when we started the podcast
Things that take forever at work:
* Downloading mezzanine quality video files
* Converting hundreds of video files to another format
* Me reading through what a supervisor wrote about me in an evaluation statement, complimentary or not, because DEAR GOD NO.

I wrote an article in Code4Lib about how current DAMS-style digital repositories don’t work with archival methods, which is not widely understood by admins and technologists. I journal.code4lib.org/article…
I love how no matter where and how long I travel for, I use the same carryon rollerboard and it's always packed to the gills.

Me: "Wow, I had a stressful day, it sucked."
> Gentleman comes home.
Gentleman: "Hey, my coworkers told me to bring this flan home, you want it?"
There is at least one deity and my husband with flan is one the purest expressions of their blessings.

One more work day tomorrow and then I prep for AJS, actually go to AJS (potential audience plants: I am presenting on the 18th!), and then collapse until the new year.

I'm the only witch allowed in the library, thank you.

Almost an hour later, it finally finished. I did swing by the book store for a couple of presents while I was waiting, so at least there's that.
