Karen wrote: "A young friend wrote something fierce and amazing and perhaps I'll ask if I may share it, but I can share that it ends with this:

"Our best vengeance against acts of hatred like this is simply to not apologize, to not ask for permission to exist or forgiveness for who we are, to not hide.
Our best vengeance is simply to dance, to love, to laugh, to live."


Thank you for sharing this, Karen. I find this very comforting.

Also angry, despairing and confused. How is it even possible?

Yeah. We had people threatening each other here yesterday. A very stressful day. And I'm glad nothing actually happened, but still.

naptime/mexicancocacolatime

Not sure which right now. But seeing as I'm stuck at work for another hour and a half... I guess it's not nap time, much as I'm so exhausted I could drop off in a matter of seconds!

You UK guys are in my thoughts. What a crazy situation. I bet that many people who voted didn't know what they REALLY were voting for.

Sabine | 3041 comments Hug you, my dears ♡ ! I have really, really hoped, that that result wouldn't happen. The consequences for Europe aren't foreseeable.

Invite

I was invited to apply for a new job last night based on my abilities and the fact that I would likely get along well with the other people in the department. So, this weekend I'm polishing my resume and writing the dreaded cover letter. I'm super excited though!

Thanks guys! It sounds like it will be mostly dealing with fiction and readers advisory, which is my favorite part of the job! So, I'm hoping that's true. It'll be a lot of ordering books for the adult collections, creating book lists, perhaps teaching workshops on using the catalog and other things. All stuff I can do and like doing! I'm crossing my fingers that it doesn't involve surprises that I might not like. And that I can ace the interview process.

Alone

...working in my department alone today apparently. No floater was scheduled. Thankfully it's only four hours, but still. I brought a snack for later and won't get the chance to eat it. :-( Oh well. Time to write a cover letter!
