We have people going out with covid, at least 2 a week. So far it is coming from outside and it doesn't appear we are infecting each other.
Of course, we have one staff member stating she has had nausea and chills for the last 2 days.
Did she test?
No. Said she doesn't have to because she has not

Watching a librarian discussion on evolution v creationism and one just came out and said that neither has been proven. Cannot be re-created in a lab.

Any of my small efforts have been next to thwarted due to getting winded too easily, nevermind the back.
But I did get around 20 books shelved. That has to count for something.

Like, I feel strongly for a 2 State Solution.
I feel strongly about humanitarian intervention.
I feel strongly that you shouldn't bomb hospitals or schools, no matter what.
But I will block anyone spouting the Free Palestine movement crap. Please look into movements before promoting their chants.

I was only 4 when Carter left office.
All of the things he and his wife have done for the community over the years, I was always amazed politics didn't break them.
This is what good people look like.
My heart goes out to the Carter family.

Managed to get a small reprieve at work. I have a little more than a month before the asst supe position opens in my department. No one will be forced into that position.
No one should ever be forced to work with children. Children are a whole different gig.
Still watching for new opportunities.
