UPDATE: 6 months later, the TP dispenser standoff has ended. Today, we discovered that the TP dispenser had been moved from the toilet tank, and properly installed on a wall, without obstructing anything. OH HAPPY DAY!
Mastodon friends! Did you see that my library blog has launched? It has received so much more fanfare than I would have expected for a little blog about libraries http://www.jawnoftheread.com/
It even has its own news story https://technical.ly/philly/2018/12/18/free-library-of-philadelphia-54-branches/
Also have coffee in my favorite mug (it was a DjangoConUS speaker gift in 2017 and I love it so much), a fuzzy blanket with cats making ridiculous faces, a toffee scented candle, and I’m about to put Black Panther on. This is all so thoroughly enjoyable.
Hanging on the side of Lincoln Drive waiting for roadside assistance to come change my tire. I don’t enjoy not being able to quickly exit situations that are potentially dangerous, so I neatly displayed my boxing gloves next to the spare tire compartment & am blasting “Cell Block Tango”. Just to make sure we’re all on the same page 😂
Anywho. They asked if they could contact me for more information and I SURE HOPE THEY DO because it's been a couple of weeks and I'm still big mad on both personal and professional levels.
In case you are wondering, I went to the ER for severe pelvic pain. Way worse than my appendicitis from June. I was there for a couple hours before anyone offered me an ibuprofen. (I did not take any before I went to the ER because I have a history of stomach ulcers, and also because I view my own pain as a helpful indicator for medical treatment up to a very high threshold.)
One of the questions was about how they could have improved my ER experience. An excerpt:
"The attending physician could have asked me if I was still in pain, rather than telling me I wasn't. In fact, the attending physician could have asked me a question about my symptoms. Literally any question at all."
People, strategy, web dev, and public health. I get around. She/her
