I find it upsetting when people assume you need to be employed to be your trained occupation

 

I *am* an unemployed librarian

Unemployed is the status not the occupation. 

I am no less a librarian for being unemployed.

It is a lifestyle, I love the research side of things, been employed as a research assistant during my grad dip and really found my rhythm. 

I love enabling libraries to be more accessible for the challenged in our communities... truly believing that everyone deserves the opportunity to learn...

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@PeppyPatti  I only Housesit friends places because of my intolerance to:

Clogged roof gutters. Overgrown trees and gardens

Unkempt lawns, grass wrapped around reticulation sprinkler heads.

Anything that is jammed, squeaks or doesn’t slide properly.

Dirty filters, fly screens, windows and doors.

Dirty grout or poorly grouted tiles that aren’t sealed.

Things that get stuck to my feet,

Myself and the space I occupy is the only thing I can control in life.

Hugs 🫂

@avant-garde  you are preaching to the choir my friend.

Lifelong learning is the song of my people.

Critical Thinking is a skill sorely lacking in the general public.

I have a library near me that the homeless feel comfortable in... they allow 7 hours computer time and it allows them to charge their devices and to help them get out of their situation.

love that! 

Homeless are people too...

I should know I was one of them...
