Talking to oneself is a habit of the old. We are merely directing our comments to the wisest person in the room.
I’ve never been invited to a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
It’s just as well, though; I can never remember where I’ve left my giant scissors.
mmm
The ribbon cutting ceremony i attended was open to the public. I guess a public invitation was posted in the local newspaper. It was for a bridge that had been closed for years to be rebuilt. I think the mayor cut the ribbon. It was sort of fun, in a “we finally can use this bridge” way. It was also very quick
Oh, a quick thank you and shout out to @puzzlegal for the April 5th poll. I answered (accurately) “Huh? There’s going to a protest?” but since there will be a local march, and it’s on a Saturday, both my wife and I will attend. Yes, it may not make a difference in perception, and there’s a very, very small amount of risk, but I figure it’s worthwhile. Though, granted, I could just donate the $2-4 in parking fees to a good cause, but we’re giving more than that to the ACLU and Planned parenthood monthly anyway.
Thanks!
Also, i just saw another April fools’ prank that i enjoyed. I went to a dance this evening. There’s a guy who usually comes and brings a different Bundt cake each week, and labels it. (Peanut butter, Oreo, lemon poppy ..)
Today, he brought a plain square sheet cake, and some tiny cupcakes, about the size of donut holes. Today’s label says, “vanilla Bundt cake with Bundt cake holes”.
It took me a moment, and then i smiled.
I have attended a ribbon cutting, because when you find at Spirit own a 3’ scissors with a bloody, “Have a nice day” on the inside of one of the blades (zoom in) you must have a ribbon cutting
Talking to yourself: Meh, okay
Answering: You’re crazy!
Changing voices when you answer: You’re possessed!!!
Always be yourself, unless you can be The Librarian. Then be The Librarian.
The Librarian.
My mother was a librarian. No thanks. It’s not the books. It’s the people.
I was thinking, the archivist probably gets less social interaction than I’d like on the job; but the librarian probably gets too much.
Then I thought, but the archivist may work most of the time in rooms with no windows; and the librarians, at least at the libraries I go to, get a good bit of natural light; which I’ve learned that I need. So I went with librarian. But maybe I just don’t know enough about what archivists are actually doing and in what sort of conditions.
Here is a good Reddit post from an archivist on differences in the positions:
I’d rather be an archivist because I don’t want to deal with people saying crazy shit to me about my woke library and its programs.
My mother was a librarian who worked at the public library in cataloguing, which didn’t involve much interaction with the public.
Peeps- my wife lies them, so I eat like one or two a year. Too sweet. Circus peanuts are nasty.
By “Dove bar” I assume you mean ice cream and not soap?
Dove Chocolate Bar
And/or the ice cream bars, from the same brand:
They are ok. Godiva is better.
Honestly, neither is great. Both are good, but there’s so much chocolate that’s better.
What Godiva does well is shaped chocolates. And the little Dove hearts can be good. The ice cream bars are better.
I was a semi pro magician years ago, so I have a good idea how many of the tricks are done. Still, I enjoy being fooled by people far better than I ever was.
Personally, unless we are going into boutique and very expensive chocolates, I choose Sees. They are always fresh, while Godiva- not so much.
I like all of those listed sweets, but of the bunch, would prefer a Dove Bar. Haven’t had one in years, so I guess maybe I’m overdue!
I’ve always enjoyed reading and libraries, and have several friends who are librarians. I think being an archivist wouldn’t be quite as stimulating by comparison, although if it meant working with records that particularly interested me (like at a historic site or a presidential library), that could be fun.
