    It’s been a workday, that’s for sure. It’s the first day back at school for my son after being off for two weeks. And it’s the first day I dove into business operations in 2023. I may be learning website building and tweaking, but nothing reeks of business more than sales.

    I’m here at this place on Mondays. It’s because my library’s administration couldn’t be bothered to make logical decisions based on locations and populations and instead took the easy way out by “letting” the managers figure it out on their own. It will likely be this way forever until my branch closes for a remodel…

    But it’s only while my son’s classroom is in quarantine. Apparently there was a close contact last week. So his whole class is remote this week. So far, it’s been much better than last year.
