@KimberlyJMorris@anaheimpl I have the same issue trying to use San Diego Public Library's ebook portal. It's killing me not being able to read my books ππ
The proton mated itself to the electron for ten thousand years. The attraction was obviously there from the beginning of time.
When they finally parted (as they both knew they would at some point), it was only because they needed a new more powerful element in their lives.

There were no longer any clean timelines to follow.

There's one thing that never goes away, the intense joy of a fascinating new idea. There's always the possibility that it could change your perspective on everything that came before.
When someone walks up to your desk to ask for help, pretend like you're on a phone call, and hold your finger up to them, so they know to wait. Stay on the 'call' for at least 10 minutes, then coolly and calmly ask them "What's up?".
