I got to wear my Irish wool cape today! Fall is happening...even if it's probably a false fall. I'll take it!

I am watching this on my lunch break and hooting with laughter. This is so surreal! After all the ridiculousness I have witnessed in the last decade, the fact that I can still be shocked at anything is amazing. Yet, here we are. If I didn't laugh, I would cry.

Macklemore: "I hope this isn't the end of my relationship with Ed…I hope we both continue listening, studying what is happening in Palestine and wrestling with what neutrality means in a moment like this. My door will always be open to continuing that conversation."

At this point, I would rather the Kennedy Center be torn down than to have that great orange lump get his name on it or get his tiny little hands on any renovation efforts. He would only turn it into a gilt monstrosity that has nothing to do with memorializing JFK.

Paying to park for work is the biggest scam! It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't raise the rates nearly every year. It also feels like an extra tax on those who have to work onsite. I'm not advocating to get rid of remote work, just annoyed that I have to pay to go to work!

Today, in weird patron request. Someone wants to see a copy of a thesis on behalf of the author. Us: "Okay, give us the author name." Patron "No" Us: "Okay, what is the title?" Patron: "Can't tell you." Us: "Why?" Patron: "FERPA." So, how are we supposed to find it?

I love the feeling of "winning" at a doctor's appointment. My sleep doctor said that I am in the 98th percentile of usage and that they never worry about me because I do everything I'm supposed to and they never have to nag me. Look at me! I'm winning at sleep apnea and narcolepsy!

Such a weird day. Feels like Monday (I was off the last two days), but I'm happy because the election went so well. I can't believe we finally have our first woman governor in Virginia! We have so much work to do, but at least there is a glimmer of hope!

Today, the children at Annunciation Catholic School were shot while praying. Two were killed in the pews. Thoughts and prayers are NOT enough. We need immediate and comprehensive gun safety laws. That’s what saves lives.
