My IT homework this week asks me to reference a tool I use at work with its features, ease of use, and personal experience with the tool. My discussion post begins, "Allow me to regale you with the miracle that is @Smartsheet " #CanDo

@NoetheMatt Me, still waking up: "Wow, good for Target! I should shop there more often."

@StckedLibrarian @lspear412 @PrincessWB420 I fully understand. That's why I provide sources for others when I have the spoons.

@lspear412 @StckedLibrarian @PrincessWB420 I like to help people by finding sources to support or correct their ideas. Can't turn off the librarian brain, I guess 😀

@iowalibrarian @NoetheMatt Good point! Sometimes it's not technically a "reduction" in headcount; it's a "re-allotment" to another department.

[Amber M Eakin 📖 🏳️‍🌈 @LibrarianEakin]

@NoetheMatt Yes, I'm sure there was nothing extenuating in 2020/2021 that might've impacted retirements 👀 but don't tell library schools that

[Amber M Eakin 📖 🏳️‍🌈 @LibrarianEakin]

@NoetheMatt I hope people aren't telling students that people are going to retire soon, so there will be jobs waiting on them. It wasn't true a decade ago, and it's even worse now.

Cool so in my kindergarten class there was me (in a wheelchair), one person who used crutches, one person who was deafblind, multiple kids with autism, kids with behavioral conditions, etc. You know why you didn’t see those kids? They placed us in “special” classes.

@PandaLibrarian7 Thank you! I loved that so many folks got on board with the interaction. Some audiences don't, but we were vibing today!

I'm presenting in half an hour! I'm excited to talk about cats. Or generative AI with cats as the example. Same thing, really. #LibraryTwitter

@geohellraiser @NoetheMatt This response comes from a place of privilege. "It’s a choice not to vote, and not voting is relying on your privilege to protect you. I just hope you consider the people around you who don’t have that luxury." https://t.co/LNvDAmmxXE

@NoetheMatt You are clearly not a Sim. They love to wash their dishes in the bathroom sink.
