I'm northern - gaming, knitting and everyday stuff with cats and being an IT librarian. I'm fannish, but haven't written anything in years. I read SFF books.
Opal is complaining loudly that there is no bird entertainment outside. This is obviously my fault.

Okidoki, second internet conference day, with parallel managing of IT issues. I am, apparently, ordering 28 new computer screens?

Time for work. Snooze on, friends.

I seem to have acquired a tiny cold though. Hoping for zero fever.

A really great thing though: my frozen shoulder has unfrozen a little bit and I can reach a little higher up! I was convinced it would take at least another six months to start that process, like the PT said. Very happy about it!

Yes Opal, I DID dump you there so I can knit. You are adorable, but I do need to do other things than be your bed at times.

I am so happy I'm starting early on my 2026 work project. This way I can fix problems that have popped up before they become huge.

Morning through the dirty window.

Ok, a serviceable lined mitten. I am getting tired of Zevran ruining them, let me tell you. This time I only used yarn I have no relation to.
November 23, 2025 at 4:55 PM
I am aware, Zevran, that this yarn is not perfect, but you still can’t chomp it.

Monday and Tuesday I’ll be watching a conference from home, but I need to dooooo stuff! Guess I’ll try my best to get other people to do them.

I was bad and looked at my work mail and discovered a problem that will cost money. Stress. My own fault for checking.

Finally went to the neighborhood compost and emptied my old flower pots. Took the trash out. Swept outside the catio.
The snow is gone, so I took the bird feeder down for now.

My mom and grandma were librarians so I grew up at libraries. I didn't study for it right away at university but thought about what I could realistically see myself doing, and got into it. I like details and keeping track of things so I got into cataloging, then IT project management for libraries.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

My sweater is taking forever. ; ;

Ew, I got my sink rinsed and empty of very dirty dishes which have been there since last weekend. So gunky, so relieved to get it clean.

I got the cats some tv. :)

Time to watch Critical Role with Opal.

In other news, I like my job. It has problems to solve!^^

Me: I want to put these computers into handy groups so that the correct applications get installed when we get new computers.
Application techs: These particular computers can't do that via user groups. Have you tried computer groups? :D

I would like to tell you that this year, I get 16 days off in a row over the holidays. And I only have to use 6 vacation days. I am so excited for so much time off!
November 20, 2025 at 4:30 PM
Yesss, I can take a half day today, phew. Really need it after that weekend.

Today I have an information meeting about a system we’re considering for outward communication. Can’t stop thinking about questions to ask - I’m really excited about this possibility!

This week is a lot more low key than the last one. Looking forward to my reward three day weekend though!

Today we’ve had 13 different events for kids to do, as part of the literature festival. A lot more noisy today than it was yesterday.
