February 2021

This month has been glorious. The sun is shining and I get to meet up with friends and starting to communicate with people I have not heard from for a while.

Work

We are getting adjusted to random short lockdown periods and still run our service.

Pogo

I am elearning to do excellent curve throw on various mons using three different techniques. When are catching pidgey you throw lightly from the corner of the screen. When you are catching Trubblish, again you start from the corner of the screen but this time you aim to release the ball towards the far right of the screen. When you try to catch Sentret you throw a bit off from the centre and the ball straight up and drop back to the left. My aim this month is to complete 999 excellent curve throws to reach level 50. Hee hee. It is quite the challenge for someone like me, as I rarely manually catch unless there is an event pokemon around.

Dating

I am back on the market looking for a man that is keen to meet up, and to try new things. The heart feels lighter and relived to not having to entertain an emotionally unavailable man. Also, I am learning not waste time on guys who shut down topics brought to the conversation and those express little or no interest in me and what I am about. These are time wasters and bookmarking chicks just in case the hotter one rejects them. I am not going to be anyone's safety (back up) date.

The apps give men leeway too much. These guys don't ask you any questions or willing to start a conversation in dating apps, they just click things such as like (Bumble, Coffee Meets Bagel, Plenty of Fish),  smile (eHarmony), and request a personal message (eHarmony). They are by far the lazyist interactions on planet Earth.

Even during lockdown I find things to challenge myself. One being able to do excellent curve ball throws in 3 different ways. #pokemongo This mind set is applicable to work too. I’ll find records in 3 different ways. See blog on Growth mind set. https://t.co/2JyKyj8Qjp

Books should not the measure of a library, but the social interactions they offer. - @EricKlinenberg #keynote #InfoOnline21

Public libraries are resilient centres really. Sadly neglected and forgotten. #keynote #InfoOnline21

Libraries can start by declourising catalogue by updating existing subject headings. Some work has been done on this but more could done. Session 2: Indigenous Australian Sovereignties and Australian Libraries: who is in control? #infoonline2021

Some of the #art on display were interactive, while some made you wonder, what’s their back story? Luv art that stirs and inspires you. @sngo1982 and I had a great afternoon out. #NGVTriennial #Melbourne pic.twitter.com/kiXeEi5Q5H
