Whether this word is printed as OK, Ok, ok, okay, or O.K. is a matter normally resolved in the style manual for the publication involved. Dictionaries and style guides such as The Chicago Manual of Style and The New York Times Manual of Style and Usage provide no consensus.[38]

In Taiwan, OK is frequently used in various sentences, popular among but not limited to younger generations. This includes the aforementioned "OK" (Okay le), "OK" (Okay ma), meaning "Is it okay?" or "OK" (Okay la), a strong, persuading affirmative (similar to English's "Alright, cool"), as well as the somewhat tongue-in-cheek yes/no construction "OOK" (O b OK?), "Is it OK or not?", again adopting the term into Chinese grammar.

In Germany, OK is spelled as o.k. or O.K. or okay. It may be pronounced as in English, but /ke/ or /oke/ are also common.[56] The meaning ranges from acknowledgement to describing something neither good nor bad, same as in US/UK usage.

I'm a public librarian - a branch manager specifically. My overriding feeling throughout the pandemic was rage. Rage at everyone else who got to go home and work from there. Rage at the decision makers who recognized that not everything could be accomplished from home but didn't go further along that process. Rage at the people who decided public librarians were somehow the best people to do all of those things that couldn't be accomplished from home. Rage at the decision makers who just didn't care at all if people fell through the cracks because they needed help in person. And, so on and on and on. Why was I the one who had to come into work during a pandemic so people had a place to go, when I wasn't actually the person who could help them? I could do absolutely nothing for the homeless man who qualified for social security but couldn't get in the system because no one was working in the office and he was relying on a crappy cellphone to try and be available at the random times they assigned him "phone appointments". I felt like I was managing a holding pen for people who were just hoping they could hang on long enough to make it to the point when the people who work in those offices that actually do the things that help them come back to those offices. I know I'm supposed to think that it was great that all those other employees got to work from home because it helped prevent greater spread? Or something? But, if it wasn't important for me to be safe at home, why was it more important for them, the people who could actually do the necessary things? Ugh. This was a mess of thoughts. I really am not okay.

This week, I gave a talk at the CALM (Conference on Academic Library Management) Conference. I\u2019m sharing it here because I\u2019ve received several requests for a written copy, but also because I think you could substitute pretty much any passion job for \u201Cacademic librarian\u201D here and the descriptions (and advice) will hold. The librarians are not okay. The nurses are not okay. The teachers are not okay. The journalists are not okay, the clergy are not okay, the social workers are no okay. And we can\u2019t start the long-term work of recovering from the burnout and demoralization of the last year until we acknowledgment as much.

The fourth thing that\u2019s making your job really, really hard? You just worked through a pandemic, and an ongoing reckoning with systemic racism, and a contested election, and an insurrection, and several climate catastrophes. Plus, we are still in a pandemic. Some of you were asked to be present in situations that felt unsafe every day. Some of you had to deal with people who were butts about masks. Some of you got sick or are still sick, many of you have spent the last twenty-four months in various cycles of fear-based adrenaline pushes through the week followed by debilitating crashes. And because of the way that academic librarianship often works, and how little control people have over where they end up \u2014 you likely endured so much of it without much of a familial safety net. It\u2019s okay, no, it\u2019s necessary, to talk really frankly about just how hard it is, and how none of us have actually recovered from the grief and trauma of the last two years, and won\u2019t anytime soon.

And it\u2019s true, isn\u2019t it? The nurses are also not okay, the high school teachers are not okay, the graduate students are not okay, the adjuncts are not okay, the social workers are not okay\u2026.and the librarians, you are not okay. You\u2019re not okay because you\u2019re undervalued. You\u2019re not okay because you\u2019re drowning in student loan debt. You\u2019re not okay because there\u2019s way too many applicants to too few jobs. You\u2019re not okay because you\u2019re trying to furiously tread water.

You\u2019re not okay because like all of those other professions that aren\u2019t okay, you\u2019re nominally essential \u2014 the most valuable parts of our society, the vaunted upholders of democracy! \u2014 but often treated as societally worthless. And that\u2019s not okay, and I\u2019m here to say it\u2019s not okay, and if you feel so hopelessly bitter and resentful and lost, it\u2019s also okay for you to say: I can\u2019t do this anymore. That\u2019s something you don\u2019t hear very often in a professional development talk, but I think it\u2019s essential to acknowledge what often goes unsaid: when it feels like the job is sucking all that is good from you, it is okay to save yourself. There is no shame in that, even though there will be \u2014 and I can speak from experience here \u2014 therapy, and, you know, tens of thousands of dollars in extent loans.

On the institutional level, you start with honesty. Not all of you are in the position to affect this sort of change, and I realize that, but you can modify anything that I say here to things that you can try and think through on the level of your team. The honesty starts with an acknowledgment: We are not okay. And if we want to get through this, if we don\u2019t want to be miserable, if we want to do these jobs that we would theoretically delight in if we weren\u2019t so damn tired and overextended, then we need to change some things. Not just say that we\u2019ll think about changing them, but actually change them, and continue to iterate and change them, until we arrive at something that works.

So yes, in sum, the librarians are not okay. But you are also very much not alone. So many others have found their professions mired in this downward spiral of burnout and exhaustion, but also, on a deeper level, of demoralization, inequity, and exclusion. But there is hope for a different, sustainable way forward: as individuals, as institutions, as communities. But it hinges, absolutely, on the will to imagine it. The work is hard. But the work is hard because, in this moment, more than ever \u2014 it is so very much worth doing.

There are two uses of expect() here. In each case, the expect() messageis somewhat useful, but the real meat of why expect() is okay in both casescomes in the form of comments. The comments explain why the from_str_radixand from_u32 operations will never fail. The expect() message just gives anadditional hint that makes the panic message slightly more useful. ff782bc1db
