My lib's temp control sucks. I run hot (my short sleeves this winter have annoyed others). But the past week, lib’s been damned cold. Meant to bring a cardigan, but kept forgetting.
Finally remembered this morning.
Walked into a blast furnace in the library. 😂

Got a message there were "some books left for the library" at the office. I figure someone cleaned a locker & I was going to pick up some ruined books.
But no! 3 boxes of like-new books!
So great!

Wow - Google AI has REALLY f’d up search in Gmail.
Trying to find a very specific word, and it was auto-finding synonyms.
If I wanted synms, I’d ask. Just find what I’m looking for.
(Yes, I used quotation marks - even that wasn’t guaranteed!)
