the sports team I work for continues to have the saddest season, BUT today we played against one of my fave players on a different team and I got to see *her* score and that was pretty cool lol

trying to coordinate Batman group costumes for work halloween, and you’d think the issue would be multiple people want to be Batman, but no. it’s that two of us want to be the Riddler 😭

I’ve actually considered getting a reptile of some kind in the past, but I wasn’t sure how Milkshake would react. turns out she LOVED just sitting next to his tank and enjoying the heat lamp

I can’t right now, but it might happen in the coming months. I need to see how well the heater in my new apartment holds up in the winter first

this has literally never happened before, but today my library’s order of a new book came in before my personal order, and of course this would happen for @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social’s new book that I absolutely canNOT wait to read I hope it flies off our shelves!

I don’t even know if I really want to get out of the public sector, but when I see a salary 1.5x mine and fully remote, I can’t say I’m not tempted

Caleb 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️📚🧶🎲 @extracandy.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
the one I’m staring at right now is book-related, but how do I even explain everything I do to someone who doesn’t work in a school or public library

I don’t know if I pass better, my reputation has started proceeding me, or the kids have just become better at reading the situation (I suspect a combination of the three), but we’re a month into the school year and I’ve been misgendered WAY less than last year 🙌

Caleb 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️📚🧶🎲 @extracandy.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
they’re admittedly very light, so probably not that strong, but they are VERY clean, so a great deal. I’ve definitely seen worse at used furniture stores

Caleb 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️📚🧶🎲 @extracandy.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
I do appreciate that they seem to be prioritizing internal candidates for these positions. it has to be my turn eventually, right?
090
Caleb 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️📚🧶🎲 @extracandy.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
I found out who got it, and she *is* internal, so the cycle of applying continues lol

I think two snacks is officially a small meal

Caleb 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️📚🧶🎲 @extracandy.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
it’s okay, I really do think I was under-qualified. now I’m just waiting to see if the person who *did* get it is internal so I can potentially apply for their current position lol
020
Caleb 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️📚🧶🎲 @extracandy.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
they in fact *would* schedule a meeting just to tell me I didn’t get it lmao

Caleb 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️📚🧶🎲 @extracandy.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
I’m so nervous I might throw up

Caleb 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️📚🧶🎲 @extracandy.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
like if I didn’t get it, I think they would just tell me. they wouldn’t schedule a meeting. something is happening

Caleb 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️📚🧶🎲 @extracandy.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
