Imagine a hobbit herbalist librarian. Libraries, books, herbs, gardens, pre-1650, fantasy-sf, middle grade fiction, tech support/training, Victoriana. Omnivorish interests & reposts. [She/her cis, trans-affirming]

Saturday traffic is 10x worse because nobody can shop on Sundays.
Mind you, we don't go to the Teterboro Costco anyway, because even on Sundays the traffic and parking is crazy. (They turned the Hackensack one to a Business Center, so *it's* useless. Passaic county it is.)

Honestly it makes traffic in Paramus a completely horrible snarl on Saturdays, but given the way NJ people talk about traffic, they won't be moved by facts.

Oh the characters were ok, but the 'I am a middle aged man who has fucked up my life (the lives of all around me) and I'm just going to blow it all up' vibe is there. Similar to 20th c. white male lit

*Such* a piece of middle-aged white male literature, though!

*Worked at at that same job, with unlimited sick days, and the director we had for a while wrote people up for taking 7 sick days in one year. In a public facing college job. We should have started wearing masks in protest.

I was brought up to always come into work if possible and I had a boss in my 30s who used to complain about people 'at least not coming in to work their desk shift'* so learning to keep my germs at home instead was a Covid-era shift for me.

OMG! In 1970 Hiler + Dorsky "collaborated on... an industrial film commissioned by NJ’s Sussex County Area Reference Library, whose local branch Dorsky and Hiler frequented first as patrons, then eventually as projectionists and programmers for the library’s 16mm screenings" - ft Tony Conrad :)
