Each time you call there's about 3-5 minutes of the bots explaining, the menu doesn't give you options to pick from it explains a topic and then asks if that's what you are calling for which takes up much of the callers times. By the time I finally got placed with an actual person they were able to answer my question in under a minute, something we could have done from the start without an AI bot making the process 100% more frustrating.

Since I needed to provide verification of date of birth to start Medicare, a trip to the office was required. Fortunately, there is a location just 2 miles from us in SW Austin. The facility is large, clean and institutional. Wouldn't expect anything different. The waiting area is large, with lot's of seats. There were clean restrooms and water dispensers. You cannot bring in food/drink, no biggie. Once we arrived, I expected a decent wait time, so brought the spousey to join me and we just enjoyed each other during the wait. When we entered, not really knowing next steps, I went to ask the gentlemen in a uniform for direction behind a counter. I barely got out, Good Afternoon, I was.... well cutoff.. and told, check in at the kiosk as he pointed to the thingy to my left and went back to what was more important than helping me. Look, I feel for these folks who have these jobs. I'm sure they work with a great deal of angst from folks, not getting what they think they deserve from the system and may be the target of their discontent. However, it would be nice if he would of let me finish my statement, perhaps a smile, but not today. Hit up the kiosk, checked in, got a ticket and we sat and watched the monitor for when it was our time. As you are informed, your wait my be longer or shorter then others already in the room. Depends what you are there for. My number was called and we were greeted by a smiling agent, who took it from there. He eliminated my fears that I may have been a little late to apply, took my identification, including my Dutch birth certificate, passport and TDL to make copies. Came back, let me know I was all set and would be receiving stuff in the mail. Polite, efficient and pleasant interaction. I believe we may have been waiting 25mins. It was pretty quick IMO. We headed out and I made a point to walk out by the counter, smiled really big at the same gentlemen and thanked the dude and wished him a good afternoon. This blew him away by the look on his face, he managed a smile and wished me the same. Kill them with kindness is always a moto for me. For reference, I was there on a Friday a little after noon. Job Done..

The students that work at this library have too much time on their hands. Please explain the logic…read morethat one designated section of the library is safe to eat in and have masks down but the others are not. The fourth floor is magically safer than all the others? I received NO warning while drinking water and was told I had to leave immediately because I had my mask down. I wasn't asked to pull it up, I was told to leave immediately. Absolutely insane that I can't have my mask down for 15 seconds to drink water and be kicked out without any warning. There is no federal, state, or COUNTY law that mandates masks be worn. What if I did not have the resources I do and the library was the only safe place for me to study? There is a gross over reach of power going on. I understanding wanting people to wear masks but to kick someone out completely without a single warning or asking to fix the problem first is insanely uncalled for. Please adapt better policies.

Kudos to the city of Austin for…read moregetting people out of the hot/cold/wet weather and giving them a place where people can pick up labor. It's important to know what to expect for a first timer like myself. I just needed some help unloading the truck for moving into town which I knew would only take a few hours and wasn't ready to pay 'professional' movers $60+/hr. When I arrived at 1pm (time is a relevant consideration for later), a gentleman walked out from the inside to greet me in the parking lot. Asking me how many people I would need, how long, and how much I was paying (per hour). He informed me I could just take the "next two guys in line" or select two guys. When I walked in, I was quite surprised. You are put on center stage so be ready. It was a pit-type area with several rows of chairs and about 25 guys just sitting and waiting. The gentleman announced what I wanted, how long, and how much I was paying and then the hands started going up with yelps of "Hey buddy!" "right here!", "I'm strong". Sighs of unhappiness went out as soon as I picked the second guy as the others knew they wouldn't have work. I drove the two guys back to my place, they helped unload the truck. We took a few breaks where I got some of their life story over some water and sodas. Nice guys. I kept in mind that they weren't professional movers, so with a little emphasis on caution and taking it easy with the big stuff, there wasn't any drama and wall scrapings. How much you want to pay is up to you (I overpaid what I said I was going to pay). It's in cash at the end and directly to the guys and you're expected to drive them back to First Workers afterwards. KEEP IN MIND: These are people trying to get work and make a living. 1) How long are you having them for? They're hoping for a full days work and most of them show up early in the morning. If you're only doing a couple hours, they're not likely to get more work afterwards. Even if you pick them up late in the afternoon, it's likely they've been waiting all day. 2) Don't be afraid to pick who you want. While you can have the facility go in order and just assign someone, feel free to ask if someone has certain skills or past experience that may help with what you're looking for. You can also make sure you don't get someone that you don't feel comfortable with if it's for something in your home. Overall, glad the city has this place set up. Sad that there's so many people willing to work and can't get any!

However, it seems like the seasons will change faster than those stoplights here! I've never been anywhere that makes you hang out at every single stop light in the city for a crazy amount of time. While pondering if the stop light sensor is broken, or if I should kill the engine and wait. It's not like this town has a traffic problem, quite the opposite, I suppose. Maybe that's because nobody has enough time to wait for this on a regular basis. Yea, I'm sure you'll appreciate the looooong stop lights in this city if you're not from here. This really is a pretty town, with a great town square. Check out the San Marcos River. I think it's better to tube here than in New Braunfels.

They had several floors and 2 people running the desk. The outside was amazing to look at and is a very nice building. The children and teen section is right after you come in, there are stairs and an elevator, each floor is something different. The Fiction section is quite large and has a very large stage at the front, not sure what it is used for normally but it was a cool feature. Had some comfy chairs up there. One the floor with the fiction there was a large computer room, fully empty, First time I have seen no computers in use at a library. Even Shana remarked on that. They do allow you to use a paid for by the library Ancestry account to search family history. They had displays of books, most with themes along all the window ledges. There were two offices in this area as well, both with open doors, no one in them and signs saying library staff only. We did head up to the 3rd floor which claimed to be fireplace sitting but everything up there was closed and locked. Access was not denied, no sign nor roped off but all you could get to was a microwave. It felt like is was supposed to be closed off but someone forgot? We don't live here, so no library card but it was cool to see the place. The front desk person we spoke to wasn't super helpful, Shana asked about the age and if it was the oldest and they thought so but seemed very unsure and seemed to think it weird we stopped in. Not rude or dismissive just more confused, like they don't normally get questions or visitors. Still if you like history, old buildings, libraries, or any combination of the three, this is worth a quick look and walkthrough. Judging by the state and fireplace rooms they do some cool stuff here now and then so keep an eye out for that.
