Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Beth that's great! I love hearing about kids getting into reading.
One of the library branches here is pretty much a Twig, it's in a tiny store front and it's in an area of town that's really expanded. Building a new building had to go to a vote and it passed, but now with the funding freezes it won't happen. And it's sad too because there's so many people who could really benefit from a real branch.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Anyone have a special celebratory treat on Friday? or reward yourselves for making it to Friday by having some treat? Something you usually get on Friday but you wouldn't usually get on other days?
I used to get a big-ass cinnamon roll on Fridays on my way to work. Now I usually get a big-ass chocolate chip brownie for lunch desert on Friday.

I don't know if I was clear in my amazement before - I think it's wonderful that annotation is being taught.
Oh, I didn't take what you said (or anyone else, for that matter) as negative. I just get all talky-meat when it comes to English stuff. I think it's pretty great too!
Annotating is what other pieces of paper are for. My mental block runs deep.Absolutely; I completely understand that feeling. That's why we teach alternatives.

I can only write in cook books and text books I'm not sure I could write in any other books. Partly because once there's a mark my eyes are always drawn there and it's hard to ignore it and focus on the rest of the text.

My library in my new town is in a strip mall. It's right next to my insurance office, as a matter of fact. I guess it's a more of a branch to the county system than an independent city library.

I'm indulging way more in the internets today than I do the rest of the week, but that's not just a Friday thing. I'm celebrating the fact that the last two weeks have finally started to pay off. I'm actually going to have a fun weekend!

But you are already competent readers. If you aren't, and you are a given a sonnet and you see what other people have said to and about the sonnet on the same page? EXTREMELY helpful and powerful.
When I copy text I actually leave at least half the page for notes and annotation.

Trust my rage
So, I know I've mentioned my crazy boss and her bizarre need to control before.
Today, I had a meeting with her boss at 9am. at 8am, crazy boss comes into my office and tells me that my meeting has been cancelled. I know damn well it hasn't because I just got an email confirming it. I mention this politely to crazy boss.
Maybe ten minutes later she calls to tell me my meeting has been moved to 10. Okay, whatever.
I finally get to the meeting at 10 and big boss asks, very nicely, why I had to move the meeting with her. Umm, err, not sure, talk to crazy control freak boss?

Cash, radon is an extremely easy fix. Basically you just need to vent the space.
