I like small, everyday things. There will be talk of tea, birds, weather, and the minutia of my work (systems librarian). NB (they/she). Grey. Þæs ofereode, þisses swa mæg.

@benhamill History has it's uses, for sure.
Good luck, in any case. Hope y'all find a solution that isn't too hair-pulling.
@benhamill The wild, wild west, then! Kinda cool, when it's not waiting to bite your rear.
Meanwhile, the data standard we're working from has been around since the 70s (earlier if you include card catalogues) and a _lot_ of people are very cold-dead-hands about it.
@benhamill Oof. Yeah, those kinds of things are...unfortunate. We don't usually see such immediate negative returns, though. Instead, we get things like: Two librarians push through their (non-standard) preference for how the metadata should look for periodicals, then ten years later we're having to do a major cleanup project because, hey, we're migrating to a new system and what was simply non-standard is now totally FUBAR. *sigh* I don't get people who don't get standards.
@benhamill Ah! Fabulous! Sounds like fun, then. *pulls up a chair*
@benhamill Design. What info goes where.
Give me a report to run, metadata to futz with, or a new employee to train. That's my happy zone.
@benhamill It's hard to know where that line is, sometimes. Especially when there are many Opinions on the matter. (I am so, so glad I don't do look-type work. It'd drive me up a wall.)
@matt Confusion.
General request: if you post pictures, please please include alt text describing the image so that everyone, regardless of visual ability, can enjoy your toot.
Please consider asking others to do this. Optionally, reconsider boosting toots if they don't have alt text.
We all have an opportunity to help shape the culture of this place and I'd love, love, love if it were "oh, everyone posts alt text with their images because that's just what you do."
@benhamill Good, thanks! Chilly out, but a gorgeous sunny day. And finishing some of those pesky little tasks that always get bumped back when big stuff comes down the pike.
You?
@NattyGov Sooo...maaaybe just a smidge too much caffeine? 🤣
@Sparrow *waves* All's swell here. Taking some time to go through all the places I keep to do lists and consolidate/clean up.

@GucciPiggy Hopefully the new one will be just as good as the previous. 🤞
@js0000 Truth.

@Ormur With the fiddle connection, it makes sense that there'd be a possibility of influences.
@RussSharek For sure. The Russian bar guys did a lot of setup for others on stage, as did the juggler. This troupe had more time to work between acts than if it had been just them though, since it was a full 2hr concert and some of the music pieces were long. The clown/MC would fill in a bit here and there, but sometimes they just let the music take center stage. It was a nice balance.
