Oliva, there is a library that is now branding themselves centered on Kindness. We are adopting some of what they are doing for a new campaign for kindness, so to speak, including t'shirts that blend kindness with our already existing tagline. Thanks for bringing it up.
Amy White
01:19:34

If you have been *extremely* traumatized you might be leery of working in the Empathy and Kindness Library, because kindness has backfired and made you vulnerable to abuse in the past. . .people who have suffered abuse need to feel very safe in order to extend kindness
Amy White

I feel that it reinforces my agency and autonomy over my own body, especially as a female in a predominantly male setting. But, in the civilian world, it just comes across as stand-offish. Ah well.

But my husband is on FB on and off all day, so I get the 'highlights' when I get home. Ugh!
Nan Carmack

@Eleanor: I made mine stop.
Tiffany Hayes
02:07:43
@Eleanor, my partner does this too, it's stressful!
Eleanor Mullens
02:07:48
@Nan - Good idea.
Amy White
02:08:05
Do you have a suggestion of key words or words to avoid?
Nan Carmack
02:08:06
I hold up my hand and say--not today!
Nan Carmack

Sharing joy - I have been sending out a Friday Funnies list of jokes to my colleagues at the end of each week since the pandemic impacted us all.
Anita Libby
02:08:46
My husband makes me not look at work email at home. That has made a big difference in my well-being
julialebreton
02:09:25
@Norma Jean, that’s a great idea. What a way to help people end their week on a positive note!
Tiffany Hayes
02:09:29
since working from home I miss the "hallway chats" with my team at work. formal meetings not the same. I'm trying to deliberately connect more.
Gay Acompanado
02:10:23
@Norma Jean...that's a great way to keep everyone's spirits up.
chudson
02:10:26
we created the "hallway" chat in MS Teams. A page for keeping up as people not just colleagues
Robert Stone
02:10:36
It is harder to leave work at work when work is at home...
Nan Carmack
02:10:50
fascinating idea!
Kisha Hughes
02:10:54
Agreed, Robert
Dawn Nyce
02:11:22
This was my approach to leading when I began at the library and it was a very new concept for my staff. It took some time for them to get on board and join me with their ideas.
Jill Minor
02:11:27
I came back into the library early. Working at home stopped working for me
Nan Carmack
02:11:33
Kisha/Robert: I make a ritual of closing my computer and walking away.
Eleanor Mullens
02:11:35
@Robert - Yes, very hard to disengage when WFH. I've been having to consciously remind myself not to self-shame for not being as productive as I normally would be.
Dana Bomba
02:11:56
@Nan yes, I also turn the sound off during lunch so I can't hear the pings of notifications.
Nan Carmack
02:12:06
yes--me too!
Anita Libby
02:12:25
Good idea, Dana.
Kristin Noell
02:12:32
Talk less, smile more ;)
Marien Villaman-Chodl
02:12:34
My division is closed on the weekends - I turn off email notifications then, or else messages keep on coming in for me.
Dana Bomba
02:12:40
Listening more - best thing I learned from Nan years ago! :)
Maria M. Dillon
02:12:43
I'm working hard on listening more
Nan Carmack
02:12:48
<3
Kisha Hughes
02:12:51
Agreed, Nan! I cleanse my workspace and literally hide my computer from myself. Energetically, I am trying to create more space for myself
Gay Acompanado

Jill Minor

social media librarians cannot disengage on weekends :(
julialebreton
02:13:01
It’s been hard to build a routine even when back at work as we don’t know how things are going to develop/ change either towards greater opening or going back to being closed.
Norma Jean Scott
02:13:04
We have 2 ears and one mouth. Listen twice as hard before speaking.
Maria M. Dillon
02:13:32
Yes
Anita Libby
02:13:54
I love that!
Norma Jean Scott
02:14:20
When I end my Friday Funnies email, I close with this "Stay safe and remember to do something nice for yourself today."
Robert Stone
02:14:21
I try to remember... always, sometimes I forget
Nan Carmack
02:14:38
Norma Jean--lovely@
Jessica Hartley

definitely, self care and prioritizing health was a hard lesson learned this year.
Dawn Nyce
02:14:51
One of my former coworkers had a "funny file" for moments that she needed to laugh.
Valerie Gardner
02:15:11
I have a funny file too! It works!
Eleanor Mullens
02:15:36
My sister shared that she listens to comedy podcasts when she needs a 'self-care' pick me up but still needs eyes free to get work done
Nan Carmack
02:16:17

Eleanor Mullens
02:16:29
What I learned in the military: No one will take better care of you than you will.

@Amy yes!

julialebreton
02:17:10
Yes, feel like I am abandoning my team if I take a day off especially when we are understaffed. I do feel like that leads me to burnout. It’s because of the pandemic that I was able to get back to a state of rest from having to work from home for a few months.
Eleanor Mullens
02:17:16
@Amy - most definitely!
Reagen Thalacker
02:17:44
@Julie - Me too! I have a bad habit of not taking the vacation days that I should.
Jill Minor
02:17:54
My secret guilty pleasure is the detective/hidden object iPad game from Big Fish
Dana Bomba
02:17:58
@Julie me too!
Anita Libby
02:18:12
I feel the same way Julie. I'm definitely working on that one
Marien Villaman-Chodl
02:18:45
I'm too new at my job to have days off yet. But my guilty pleasure for unwinding is K-pop soap operas
Jill Minor
02:18:51
And TikTok. Even if China is spying on me, those kids are just hysterically funny.
Eleanor Mullens
02:19:09
Maybe we should be thinking of taking time off as rotating shiftwork. Today your job is to take time off and tomorrow it will be my turn.
julialebreton
02:19:29
I know that I need to protect myself now looking back on how stressed I was. Didn’t realize it as well until I came out of it. @Eleanor great point!
Tiffany Hayes
02:19:48
it's a good example, too, for other staff if the manager takes time off
Nan Carmack
02:19:59
yes Tiffany
Jill Minor
02:20:03
I spent four months earning PTO. I need to protect myself by using it.
julialebreton
02:20:46
@Jill, Yes!
