since last march, right when we were starting to understand the gravity of the pandemic (but also not at all). since then, so much has happened:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>got library job<\/li><li>got laid off from el cosmico<\/li><li>library job seemed to disappear<\/li><li>watched all of <em>lost<\/em><\/li><li>got hired at the library<\/li><li>library director became city manager and named me de facto director (&#8220;the blind shall lead the blind&#8221;)<\/li><li>one coworker quit (in protest)<\/li><li>another coworker got COVID <\/li><li>we closed the library for two weeks<\/li><li>had to hire new person to replace the quitter<\/li><li>had to train a new part-time person (poorly)<\/li><li>will probably burn down the library<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>so anyway, it&#8217;s felt awesome to take a minute. stayed at the hotel san jose, and they spoiled me rotten, upgrading me, leaving me all these treats. i got takeout, laid in bed and watched <em>harry potter<\/em>, took a bath, went to bed at 10pm. the next day i went to the doctors, met my new beautiful niece, distance-saw pals, and ate fried rice leftovers. did old lady PBS stretching this morning. it was perfect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>also so far i&#8217;ve been to whole foods twice, spent so much money, but there are so many new and unknown flavors to try. what a dream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
