so it goes...
what would Mr. Vonnegut be thinking right now in this point and time?
the past year was a shitty one and 2026 has, so far, been the same. but even typing this, I feel ridiculous. I have a roof over my head, funds in the bank (for now I guess), food in the fridge, and employment (for now).
I am leaving librarianship. it has been a mostly negative experience. there is something seriously wrong with an organization that promotes dumbasses without requiring any type of education past high school and giving these people power over people for which a master's degree is required. make that make sense. my goal was to make a difference, not sit at a desk to give directions to the bathroom while stunod sits at their desk shopping for shoes or playing video games.
almost 5 years and the goddamned office aide has more power. and she can't even figure out how to clear a paper jam.

That suck and I'm sorry you are dealing with that. Unfortunately, thats how life works, its all about who knows who.. I can relate... If there is anything I would say is only you can control the environment you allow around you. Get out of there... I bet the next step is the step that changes your life! Good Luck.
Many years ago, I thought being a librarian would be my dream job. And maybe it would have been..... many years ago. Sorry it's not working out for you. 😒
