My new 40-hour per week job means no more volunteering for Teen Lounge at the North Portland Library. Today is my last day. There were never many teens at teen lounge, but I did enjoy two solid hours each week to write these blog posts. And I really enjoyed the setting. The woodwork is beautiful, much darker in real life than in this picture.
Wow, that ceiling is gorgeous. I wish it had a better floor to match. I’m sorry you had to go back to a 40 hour work week. It’s so exhausting.
I can report that, though it’s harder to fit my usual things into a 40-hour week, I actually have more energy than when I was working 32 hours. Which was quite unexpected. I’m guessing it’s a combination of actually having to think again to do my job combined with the 30-minute-each-way bike commute.
