5:37, pacific standard time, hotel in Dublin, California, USA, Tuesday evening, October 18, 2022. The new executive director started today. I think she will do a good job. Her leadership style is what this branch needs; focused, stern and fair. Though I have only been here less than two months I will miss Dublin a little. But I look forward to a new assignment and spending time in Palm Desert. In the end, if I didn’t try new things I wouldn’t experience many of the joys life has to offer.
