this week i am reading When McKinsey Comes to Town: The Hidden Influence of the World’s Most Powerful Consulting Firm and i think i can speak with confidence when i say that i hope every McKinsey consultant chokes on a grape
My week has been going alright. I pitched an idea to my boss earlier this week and it’s been okay’d, but I kinda regret it, due to the extra work with no increase in pay. I don’t know if I want to do this, but it’s already too late.
On the plus side, the hot water is finally working in my shower, which is nice.
Thanks for the support. I know it isn’t going to be easy for me and that I’ll have to work my butt off for I don’t know how long, but if I can pull it off, I’ll be so happy with myself. I’ll see what happens in due time. If all else fails after everything I’ve done, I’ll cry, laugh and say that I at least tried my best.

I think this is absurd. Libraries are places of knowledge and curiosity. If people aren’t thinking critically about what they read, the government shouldn’t put the blame on libraries and librarians. They need to be more worried about educating the public by funding schools to teach students through critical thinking instead of memorization. Yes, that’ll be harder to achieve, but the change will be transformative.
If that’s the government’s goal and people are are willing to let that happen without a fight, then we may as well give up our free will and just obey as we’re told. This is a disgrace imo.
Mine has been going alright. I learned that I need to work on my conversational skills. I just don’t know how because when discussing topics in my head it flows easily, but when trying to say my thoughts out loud, I just blank out.
I know I wasn’t all like this when I was younger, but now I need to pause after each word to come up with this sentence.
So, I’ll try being more active in commenting instead of lurking to help my words flow.
Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate you for taking the effort in your response. The playlist was a new experience for me and I wish you the best.
Thank you for sharing. I can’t say, I know what you’ve been through, but I felt it. Thank you again for sharing the experience. I greatly appreciate it.
