Some guy called the park today and asked if we have any outdoor snow activities coming up.
“We should soon,” I said, “Weather permitting.”
“‘Weather permitting’?” he asked. “Can you clarify what you mean by that?”
“I mean… provided it gets cold enough,” I said.
“And why is that necessary?”
“Because… snow… melts?”
back in September I kept getting calls from people wanting me to make the monarch butterfly migration happen for their weekend picnics
sir I do not have the powers you expect from me
Working in a museum w/ a planetarium, we will often have public programs for big anniversaries like the 50th of Apollo 11, as well as for larger astronomical events like eclipses.
Some years back we had a viewing party for a total lunar eclipse that happened to occur in the hours before daybreak, and in the weeks before it happened the planetarium director had to field calls & social media messages left and right from guests FURIOUSLY demanding that we be more considerate of their schedules and move the event to a more reasonable hour of the day.
It seriously the tested the patience of this woman after she had to explain for the umpteenth time, while she understood their concerns about getting to the museum at 5am, rescheduling the orbits of the Earth & Moon was just a tad out of her control.
GOOD LORD.
It’s funny, ‘cause the children I used to teach at summer camp seemed to readily understand that I couldn’t magically conjure an octopus or an orca, and that sightings of those things were up to both chance and perceptiveness. But The Public is different, and often more demanding than Actual Children.

Being a Karen demanding to speak with them and then demanding immediate answers to their prayers is how you get smote.
