I came from a very safe, sheltered upbringing and was focused on my school results, whether or not I’d find a boyfriend and being ‘right’ according to the standards that I considered important. This poem that was published in the school magazine is pretty indicative.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYmLhr-R4fjCjAInB1Pbffhu0l9vSeiQbCwgcMuwJf1t-e_n0n10n59DxHXrhjIZCk4iNjgf7srhSjxFoa4k9eiwK3nqnLEWyEr347UEmAbx4Q3AD5UCREXArew9Mwyef9YC-1alOhbbKIm8YUnKrc8nF9DI_p5YWm7BPXs02lJBSLikzfKA/s1376/BD183D9F-3712-48A4-A1CA-7424B1EE2294.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1376" data-original-width="993" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYmLhr-R4fjCjAInB1Pbffhu0l9vSeiQbCwgcMuwJf1t-e_n0n10n59DxHXrhjIZCk4iNjgf7srhSjxFoa4k9eiwK3nqnLEWyEr347UEmAbx4Q3AD5UCREXArew9Mwyef9YC-1alOhbbKIm8YUnKrc8nF9DI_p5YWm7BPXs02lJBSLikzfKA/s320/BD183D9F-3712-48A4-A1CA-7424B1EE2294.jpeg" width="231" /></a></div><div><div><br /></div><div>Some things have changed with maturity and life experience , but others have not. I think I’m more forgiving of myself in the being ‘right’ kind of thing. I’ve become more aware of my own weaknesses, my humanity and so my expectations have adjusted. So to 15 year old Penny, my advice to you is to chill. Some of the things you’re currently concerned about are not important 30+ years later.</div><div><br /></div><div>You’ll find a life partner. Stop stressing about that for now and enjoy the time and friends you have.</div><div><br /></div><div>Those exams you’re worried about? No one cares as soon as you get into Uni.

Enjoy it, but don’t imagine that it will be of lasting relevance.</div><div><br /></div><div>At 15, I was planning on doing medicine so was doing a lot of science subjects. I don’t regret that, though I do wish there had been room for me to pursue art as well. Of course, I ended up becoming a librarian, so my science degree, while useful, has largely been unused due to the trajectory my career has taken.

My mum is making up an album for me. This one is from 2 years later when I was 17/18. Shoulder pads were in, hair pushed forward in a pointy centre (mine never stayed up) and I was hopeful about the future. What followed was 4 years of disappointment, existential self exploration and ultimately a lot of growth through struggle and heartache. I sometimes mourn the loss of that innocent enthusiasm I had. On the other hand, I have a satisfying fulfilling life so really have no complaints. Just a lot more compassion for my youthful self.</div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></div>Pennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08822323208525809653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26429870.post-6042523948791755332022-06-11T07:50:00.001+12:002022-06-11T07:50:51.147+12:00#blogjune #junequestions I need something to read for a weekend away, what would you recommend?<ol style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-inline-start: 48px;"><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: decimal; margin-left: 72pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What do you currently do for a living? </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">I'm a library manager.</span></p></li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: decimal; margin-left: 72pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What three words would you use to describe your role?

There is a disturbing trend to value events and programmes that get people through the doors over the more subtle value of engagement through reading. It isn’t as alluring as makerspace activities, dance classes or baby goat yoga. Those things have their place too. Yet readers advisory is still highly relevant to the communities we serve and ties in with positive experiences in literacy. For many of our customers, having a librarian recommended read gives them a way to explore other thoughts, viewpoints, worlds, experiences. It connects them to society from the safety of their own home. And we know that a good book can contribute positively to our mental health and well being, something sorely needed especially at the moment.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-52e9e0eb-7fff-eb51-ae0f-c8f49633e2e5" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-52e9e0eb-7fff-eb51-ae0f-c8f49633e2e5" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p>Pennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08822323208525809653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26429870.post-38212881210740424472022-06-07T15:06:00.001+12:002022-06-07T15:06:24.943+12:00#blogjune #junequestions June 7 Where would you live , presuming you could have meaningful work and your family was happy?<p> Kathryn and Con have a bit of challenge going with<a href="http://www.librariansmatter.com/blog/2022/05/31/blogjune-2022-back-with-junequestions/"> Question Time</a>.</p><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Answer these three questions:</span></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-988e36e7-7fff-ca6a-b9e3-60a6a12b7690"><ol style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0; padding-inline-start: 48px;"><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: decimal; margin-left: 72pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What do you currently do for a living? </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">I'm a library manager.</span></p></li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: decimal; margin-left: 72pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What three words would you use to describe your role?

I like being at home and doing stuff at home. It's a safe place for me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Back in 2020 when NZ went into it's first lockdown I burst into tears of relief when the prime minister announced it. This was because the children were still going to school and I was getting increasingly anxious that they would become sick from exposure there or on the bus.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">That first lockdown felt like the nation came together and worked to make it safe for our communities. Yes, it was financially draining for many sectors. For libraries, it felt so strange to be closed at a time when our services would have been very useful - useful but not essential. As much as library services are loved, we could hardly put ourselves in the same category as supermarkets or medical services. Our front line teams did some redeployment work and we tried to keep ourselves busy with upskilling. A lot was learned in that first lockdown about how to pivot and what libraries could do to help.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I learned that I do like routine in my day and to feel useful. Being redeployed to call vulnerable people helped me feel like I was earning my salary. Trying to keep my team busy and upbeat wasn't easy but I think we did ok.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I learned that I can't blame the teenagers for messy house issues. Um.. yeah, I'm a messy being.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The second time we went into lockdown in 2021, we were much more prepared. More people had sorted out their technical set ups and were able to leap into action. Regular online meetings with the team where were did crazy things like recreate art and movie posters helped to boost our spirits. We managed to eventually offer a click and collect service for libraries and that really helped the team morale. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I learned that even though I'm a homebody, the very fact we couldn't go away for a holiday, even locally, made me feel trapped and despondent. I was busier in the second lockdown but not as busy as some so why I felt constantly tired and suffused with ennui I don't know.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I learned that I enjoy creating things from scratch like doughnuts, kumara bread from a starter, and growing seeds. Things that take time and that I wouldn't normally do when I'm doing a 40 hour week with a commute and mum taxi-ing. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I learned that learning te reo is much more rewarding/motivating when you can go to a physical class. Online learning was ok, we did succeed but only 8 people in a class of 15 lasted to the end of the year. We missed doing all our noho and one day wananga in person too. Our kaiako was brilliant in keeping us on track via the Zoom classes, without her I doubt the 8 of us would have made it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I learned I still like to play Geoguessr.</div><br /><p></p>Pennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08822323208525809653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26429870.post-13902859154294851592022-06-05T17:44:00.002+12:002022-06-05T17:44:58.088+12:00#blogjune2022 June 5 more cooking<p> Spent part of the day dealing to some cooking related activities.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNLGuIAwu0j_-leEosjZo34S3s-PYH_8-nQf3tO0Frc0ntRJDHw6GFpnDbyRUhz65WNX83lD6sl0WTaY5zbJoNTJAoE5mEaLrMYqSqP2IJa8RPeWYxGVp9DuWjS3Q_vrrnW-UtycTDkXmoTHt7z3s2KnfpsqAcZh1xnJK20v5lIVe7Jk7nTA/s3264/6CDD764D-9D1E-4A1F-A5B6-94F67A4DCE20.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNLGuIAwu0j_-leEosjZo34S3s-PYH_8-nQf3tO0Frc0ntRJDHw6GFpnDbyRUhz65WNX83lD6sl0WTaY5zbJoNTJAoE5mEaLrMYqSqP2IJa8RPeWYxGVp9DuWjS3Q_vrrnW-UtycTDkXmoTHt7z3s2KnfpsqAcZh1xnJK20v5lIVe7Jk7nTA/s320/6CDD764D-9D1E-4A1F-A5B6-94F67A4DCE20.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Firstly, decanted my damson plum gin into a bottle.
