Omg. Thanks for asking. 💁🏽♀️ CW - for 2nd Gen kids.
I made it in a flurry, when I first created a public account for gaming. I realized someone had the one I first planned, so I landed on this one & just went with it.
Growing up “Your mom is a FOB!” was a common insult. 🧵

This ode to pickled taco truck veggies gives me warm fuzzies.
Is this really just unique to California? Is it not in other states with tacos or Mexican food?

Sometimes I have to work the Call Center for a desk shift.
My favorite calls are the ones where adults say "Bye Bye!" at the end. Like a kid. 😍

She wants us to know she worked out for 1hr and they provide towels for the shower. 😆

When some coworkers find out I interviewed in person with a panel of several librarians for my *first* library job ... it makes me sound like I'm from another planet.

Pretty sure a librarian comes to my rescue about once a week but today three librarians collectively saved my life and I am very grateful. Good luck figuring out what the page numbers of things 100 years old and only held in special collections are while on a copyediting deadline without them.

Someone direct me to the essay on this!

This was the trip that resulted in her putting 2 Junji Ito books on hold from the library and now Idk when we'll ever go back to our former rotation of shojo, slice of life and body/time swapping.
We're on an Ito bender! Today I finished Soichi, Cat Diary and Alley.

Another lady gave me her clothes tonight. After I eat my bánh mí, we'll see what's what!
I'm a big reuse person. A petite lady offered her clothes on my local Buy Nothing group ... I think she is actually the Vampire Lestat or a pirate.

This time of year I would do Family Game Programs for Int'l Games Month. Not yet there in my new role.
So solo lunch gaming with Silver and Gold it is. I posted on Teams, but no one came. 😞. I will keep trying. 🙂

The only thing about being nosy and looking at the open homes in your neighborhood, is that if you meet your neighbor, you've already been all up in their house! And I look at everything. 🏠 👀
