Now I'm at a public library (wooo libraries!) because the observatory in Victoria doesn't have a functional guest network and it's a federal facility so there aren't other options. My phone is nearly out of data after tethering all week... so I'll do a couple of zoom meetings from here. (Was a little disappointed this library doesn't have a meeting room I can use, but it's not currently raining and it's not super cold so I can sit outside)

Very nice librarian saw me setting up on the floor in the hallway and said "Use the teens area! They're all in school right now"
Yay libraries!!
This particular library was the only place I could work on making my first faculty job talk (while keeping my 1yo somewhat happy), during an incredibly unstable, stressful period of my life.
So I love this library, but it's also definitely bringing up some bad memories. Trying to focus on being grateful that I'm in a very good place now personally.
