How I learned to be a better librarian, or at least how to be a professional librarian

There's a lot of stuff that they don't teach you in library school, on how to be a librarian. It's stuff that you just have to learn on your own. And the professors tell you that to an extent. But I don't know if you're like me, I didn't really believe them until I started my job. They tell you really, that this is for the betterment of becoming a librarian, but working in a library is different than learning about it in a classroom.

One thing that I learned is that, hey I can have a very loud voice when necessary. I learned that as I was yelling over the roar of the children's department "NO RUNNING PLEASE." And the kids stopped running for the most part. (I'd still say it if they kept doing it.) I also realized that you're allowed to talk in normal tones at the library. You're allowed to use a regular "inside talking voice" rather than whispers. I'm a librarian; I'm not gonna rat you out to your parents if you ask me where Colleen Hoover is (I will however give you different suggestions based on wanting Colleen Hoover books.). Just please tell it to me in a normal voice. (I also found out I sound like my older sister when I speak loudly. Which is something I'm filing away for my future therapist at a later date.)

They don't tell you how to deal with any patrons in person. Patrons are fun to interact with normally. They give you different ideas of what they want, and what they're looking for. I once got to help a patron looking for a specific photograph of the Rockettes and pizza. (Ask me about him! He's awesome!) I had to deal with a patron who was scanning her books (trying to), and would look back at me each time one didn't scan, and tell me that they didn't scan. Not asking me what to do, not asking if there's another way to do this, just telling me that they wouldn't scan. I stood up and scanned one with the library's specific barcode (she was using the ISBN barcode one), and handed it to her as it came up on the screen. She huffed and re-scanned everything. Was that petty? a little. Not too worried about it though because this was the third time she and I talked about how to scan books at the self-check desk.

You learn everything you need to know on the job. It's interesting that getting a master's is required to become a professional librarian. And it's immediate. You get thrown right in with the patrons, your coworkers, how to create booklists, how to curate passive programs. It's just interesting that this is required. I'm happy I went to library school.

I've realized that, as a librarian, you kind of just are there. You're a person who fades into the background until a patron has a question for you. And obviously, the most asked question for us is "Will you watch my kids for me while I grab my books?" That answer will always be no. Why are you leaving your children with a stranger (me. Your kids don't know me, and I don't know them. There are 50 other kids in this room, how do I know which is which?)?

I cannot stress this enough. Invest in a journal. I just invested in another one. It keeps me rather sane in the times of bootyholes and punches. It also helped with school, and me writing down ideas of stuff that I want to do at my job. So that way I don't forget and can work on it when I'm at actual work.

I also learned that your boss isn't going to tell you what you can do. I mean they will, but you can also definitely just do some of the things they don't explicitly tell you that you can't do. I started a passive program where I put all of the Where's Waldo characters taped up throughout the department, and when the kids asked about them I told them they get to rehide waldo and his friends. The only rule was waldo et al. couldn't go into trash cans nor could they go into bags going home. They also did not have to tell us where they hid them. It's been about two years, so it's about that time that I reprint Waldo and Friends and do it all again.

Scavenger hunts are your best friends. They are deceptively easy. The kids get a sticker for completing it. And they also get to see different parts of the room that they're in regularly. It helps them learn about different parts of the library, and is fantastic.

in-verse idol group for rhythm heaven, they're called the Pop Rockettes (stock laughter sfx). the lead of the group surely can't be an alien in disguise!

Just a rant.

Why the fuck does anyone look up to athletes? Some kid goes down and his heart stops so they're all crying like baby's. And can't go on. Can't finish the game.

They call themselves warriors. I'm calling bullshit. More like a fucking dance line from the Rockettes. Go to battle and lose your best friend. Go to battle and lose your sergeant. Your mentor your guide post.

This shit happens a lot in combat bit these fucking ass clown sports actors don't know what a true warrior is.

I'm fucking dead ass tired about hearing demar this and demar that. He's out of the fucking hospital and home and getting his multi million dollar salary for sitting on his ass.

Warriors lose friends, leaders, and those they're in charge of. And they know they can't miss a step.

Hail to the military and true warriors.

Fuck all pro athletes.

Ratchet and Talwyn's kids

I thought that it would be nice for me to share with you fellow talchet fans the fankids that I've came up with for Ratchet and Talwyn.

They have 3 kids who are hybrids of half-lombax and half-markazian. Born to a lombax father (Ratchet) and markazian mother (Talwyn).

Ratchet and Talwyn have 2 sons and 1 daughter.

The eldest is son Rockett. Middle name: Kaden. He looks mostly like a lombax except for some different features) his fur is much shorter than any of the fur on full-blooded lombaxes, and his really short fur is way smooth. The color of his fur is a very pinkish pale color. 2) He has a markazian tail that has lombax stripes. 3) Markazian spots on his body. And 4) his ears are like a fushion between lombax and markazian, like they may look like ears of a lombax, but there is an opening in the middle due to his markazian genes. His lombax stripes are brownish orange while his markazian spots are pale peach. And he has heterochromia eyes, right eye is apple green like his father's eyes and left eye is sky blue like his mother's. Ratchet and Talwyn's first son Rockett Kaden was born April 22, (Earth Day) 5370. 🔫🚀💥 Note: Until Insomniac's confirmation of timeskip between Into the Nexus and Rift Apart, I'm going to assume that Ratchet was either 29 or 30 in RA for now.

The middle child is daughter Astera. Middle name: Maxine. She only looks like a pale skinned markazian with yellow-orange lombax ears and lion-like tail that has orange stripes. She also has lombax stripes on her arms and legs. Her markazian spots are of a baby pink color. Her appearance is strongly inspired by anime cat girls. Her hair color is brown with a beautiful yellow blonde reflection that is often mistaken as hair dye when in reality, she was born with that magical looking hair. And her eyes are also heterochromia except they're sectoral heterochromia. Her eyes are top pink and bottom green. I recently came up with this headcanon that her late paternal grandmother had sectoral eyes too. They were top pink and bottom red though. Therefore, she has the eyes of her daddy and late paternal grandparents combined. Ratchet and Talwyn's only daughter Astera Maxine was born July 7, (Tanabata day in Japan) 5374. 🌼⭐🔧

And finally, the youngest is another son, Calix. Middle name: Zander. He looks like a lombax with markazian ears. His ears; however, are like a furry version of a markazian's ears. Like his big brother, his fur way shorter and smooth as a half-lombax. His tail is of a lion-like lombax. His fur color is orange, which I also headcanon that either as an inherited trait from his late grandma or a mixed color due to his dad's orange-tinted yellow fur and his mom's pinkish pale skin. The color of his lombax stripes are brown while color of his markazian spots are orange-tan. He has light brown hair. And like his two older siblings, he also has heterochromia eyes except his are central heterochromia. The outer rings are blue like his mother's and possibly maternal grandfather's eyes, and the inner rings are red like the bottom of his paternal granny's sectoral heterochromia eyes. Ratchet and Talwyn's second son Calix Zander was born August 8, (date of the Lion's Gate Portal of 2024) 5378. 🦁🪐🌌

I'm so happy to finally post this! Hope you R&C and TalChet fans enjoyed reading this!😊

504. The 1981 Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade (11.26.1981), part 1

Ok, the parade. I was sad to know that there is another version of this parade out there with local-ish commercials from Richmond, Virginia but the quality of the parade is t-e-r-r-i-b-l-e. Maybe we can at least visit some of the local commercials at the end of the entry.

We started off with a doozy of a commercial for the made for TV movie The Seeker starring Johnny Gage from Emergency!. It was the 3pm Money Movie! Imagine watching this on Thanksgiving. I mean, we didn't have the dog show back then.

Oh wow I love those costumes.

Our boy Ed McMahon hosted again. He totally runs over a Rockette! He said he fell off of Tara the elephant?! I hope he was joking. Ed sounds really rough though.

Regis reports that Snoopy made it to the parade this year! Remember last year he didn't:

Why was Snoopy near shards of glass the year before?!

What the heck is that?! He just snuck up behind Reeg while he was promoting his upcoming morning program.

So Ronald and Co. were the original late night McDonalds closing crew.

I don't know how to feel about Tara the rollerskating elephant. Unless she woke up one morning and told her keepers "I wanna rollerskate", then I'm not cool with it. She skated to that Steve Winwood "when you see a chance, take it" song. Ed is still talking about trying to ride Tara, and they're still talking about Regis' new show.

RONNIE ROCKETT CRASH LANDING -

"Nothing puts a little razzle-dazzle in this icy, cold heart, like young love - this next one is going out to Ocean ( @oceanjavellana ) from what I can only assume is a secret admirer. Hot. They say:

I swear I'm making you that mixtape, big stinker. Think of this as the single. I know mixtapes don't have singles don't think too hard about it. Thank you for putting up with me all these years!

"This one is Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner by Fall Out Boy. I suggest you go full detective mode, and hold onto this one. Trust me, Baby - ain't nobody making mixtapes anymore unless they're Down Bad. 'Til next time!"

MAKE A DEDICATION.

The Call - Meetings.

Thorn opted to go to the left tunnel, a small part of them wondering if maybe they could have changed someone's fate had they gone the other way. Regardless, Thorn ventured forward through the left tunnel.

The tunnel was large and bore claw marks everywhere, freshly made by the looks of it. Soon Thorn made it to a larger opening, which had a makeshift bed and what looked to be remnants of some armor. An Insurgency armband could be seen in the pile, having been torn off. Thorn's hand radio began to beep, signaling that the

"Not much, but it beats freezing in that forest."

A voice from behind Thorn spoke. Thorn turned around and saw a large, obsidian colored werewolf standing above them, wearing the remnants of tactical Insurgent gear, red goggles, and a claw scar illuminated by Thorn's torchlight. "Operative Marcos?" Thorn asked. The Insurgent-turned-werewolf laughed loudly.

"The one and only! You must be the one I'm communicating with. Glad I had my partner's radio to talk with ya! Now that we're face to face, I can ask you something important."

"What is it?"

"The leader of the Anti-Werewolf League is in the village outside this mine. Our god has requested that he be brought into the DeepWoods to be brought justice. After all, he's the one behind what happened to your friends. Lead him to the woods and then injure him, we'll take care of the rest."

Thorn nodded hesitantly. Their torchlight flickered.

"Better get on your way, lil' Insurgent."

Thorn nodded and hurried on out. The cave widened even more into a larger cave. Thorn turned and saw that the other path lead to the same opening. Curious, Thorn ventured in. Not even a minute into a walking they came across a corpse. Illuminated by the torch, the body was recognizable as belonging to Cassidy Rakoto, the cook. Thorn cursed before lifting his torch up and seeing... fur. They lifted it higher and higher, illuminating the fanged smile of a werewolf, who lifted a camera and took their picture.

"N-Norman?" Thorn stuttered as their torch fizzled out. The former photographer began his advance towards the insurgent, blood dripping from his fangs after feasting on the former friend. He was about to attack when a bark could be heard, it was Rockette! She bound down to the two before getting down in a playful position. Norman blinked in confusion before hesitantly getting in a similar positon, his tail wagging. Rockette bounded off and the werewolf followed, playfully barking.

Thorn breathed a sigh of relief before picking up the camera Norman had. They felt along the sides and found an engraving they could trace. "Worldwide Photography Co.", a group of interest with the more niche area of anomalous photos and cameras. Thorn fumbled for the buttons and finally hit the power. The camera screen glowed with a night vision mode, perhaps used by Norman to scope out night shots? Either way Thorn used it to make their way out of the mines.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thorn emerged from the mines and saw an old abandoned village. Quickly they descended down the hill they emerged from and made their way into the village.

A howl erupted from their left, and then their right, a cut-off! Thorn picked up their pace as werewolves appeared on top of the buildings in their peripheral.

"OY! GET IN!" A voice from a two-story house called. Thorn wasted no time in booking it inside, a person inside locking the door shut behind them. "Glad you're here, we could use your help. Name's Kirk Fellthorpe." Thorn turned and saw the man, who wore a familiar ranger uniform. This uniform had a patch that read "AWL", and the man had a missing ear!

"Sir!" A nervous, younger member ran down the wooden stairs. His ranger shirt had the name "Maurice". "They're coming from all angles!"

"Good. Now Mr. Newbie," Thorn grimaced at being referred to as "mister" from Kirk. "Do you wanna help Maurice upstairs, or hang out with Rebecca and I down here? Each of us could get a window." Kirk asked, gesturing to another member named Rebecca who was reloading a shotgun.

[upper-admin-scp]

Once we learn what happened, would you like to snoop through them?

Yes. In particular I want to snoop through the Muntz's. I want to see if they're as much of a good Christian couple as they couple as they claim. And to get some of Rockett's toys.
