Whatever you do, do it with pride. The father took a job where most would slack off and he cleaned with pride.

My dad was a reference librarian, and most nights my brothers and I would spend hanging out at the closed library while he worked. Great place to be a kid if you can avoid breaking everything :)

it breaks my heart, genuinely breaks my heart that the American government and some citizens don't appreciate what a treasure they've built with their public radio/TV. As someone in Kenya, I don't even know where we would begin to replicate even a tenth of NPR for example.
