Notes from the Post-it Wall | Week of January 10, 2022

By David Himmel

• Want evidence that humanity sucks? Look no further than a parking garage and the way humans park far outside lines and leave their SUVs in spots marked “Small Car Only.”

• At the beginning of the pandemic, I was all about hunkering down and waiting it out. Into the third year, I’m all about making a mad dash to endemicity.

• The most pressing lesson the teachers and administration of Chicago Public Schools can’t learn is how to get along with one another for the benefit of the students.

• Public school is a service industry.

• I hope I live long enough to see the American Legislative and Executive branches of government actually be effective.

• We fed our young child McDonald’s twice in one day then again the following day. I’ve contacted DCFS.
