With the Summer Olympics on, I can’t be the only person with this question. (Of course, I broke my wrist going off a bike jump a couple years ago and broke my leg playing beer league hockey about a decade ago. So maybe sports dominance isn’t in my future, no matter how “easy” the sport?)
Can’t wait to check out (er, pun intended?) this little library out this weekend (and on a related note, I was hanging out with the new Weyburn Library Branch Head last weekend too. Yep, I’m that cool!) 🙂 The “Beaver Den” is the park’s arts & craft shack but I’m still bitter that my entry […]

“There are legitimate medical exemptions but if someone requires a mask exemption, that usually means they are at high risk of Covid and I counsel them to not to go out in public without a mask and instead, have someone assist you – a family member or caregiver if possible…Some doctors will feel pressured to […]
(Honestly, none of these shock me in the least!) 😉
The importance of good bosses can’t be overstated. RPL has had a number of people in supervisory/management positions over the dozen or so years I’ve been there and I would say I’ve honestly seen both the best and the worst in terms of how they approach supervising other people.
