sometimes...grrrr!

people are so rude! yesterday tested my patience. some teenagers (this is just speculation, but i think a very accurate speculation) wrote obscenities on one of the libraries computers and left it up for patrons to see (against chinese people and mormans [sic]), took half of a shelf of children's books and scattered them in the children's section (even hid them behind other shelves), and brought food into our computer lab. others were rude....talking to me while i am talking to someone else, demanding things, etc. i had more than five people give me the impatient huff/sigh/tapping of fingers on the counter. i understand that people have bad days, but seriously! the world doesn't revolve around you (mr-whiney-pants). what if i came to your work and did that to you, huh? anyway, sometimes i wonder where they learned their manners from....

blah.

i'm sick. functionally sick, which means i can't just lay in bed and be miserable because i'd be bored out of my mind. boooo...

what, what, what?

john edwards going for it...again? he is expected to annouce his bid for the president's seat in 2008. i'm pleasantly surprised...this is shaping up to be an interesting race for president. i don't know if i would vote for hillary, but i would defintely vote for edwards or obama.

unshelved

a while ago, my manager sent me a cute comic from overdue media that publishes unshelved, a comic strip about libraries. this is definitely a librarian thing...

money, money, money, money....MONEY!

a few days ago i was watching 20/20 and they were doing a report called "cheap in america." i just thought it was really interesting...it's kind of a "yay, america!" piece, but interesting nonetheless.

20/20 reports:

Americans gave $260 billion away in charity last year — that's about $900 per person.

i wish stossel would have focused on the good some charities are doing rather than asking ted turner and other billionaires, "well the money you gave away is a lot, but can't you afford more?" sometimes that mustasched man just irritates me.
