I like the altar idea! That would be great. I just hate the whole process (although I am not opposed to giving small)gifts, and actually have some candy for the woman who vacuums and does the garbage in my office, because she is super nice and I am super messy. Just not this wholesale collection of money- aargh. Every year I am irritated, but I know if I said something people would think I am reading to much into a nice thing that we do, and also, I am sure those people now count on the extra 300- 500 they get, tax free!

Oh, I need hive mind Google fu. There's a motivational gif (yes, I know, but I'm doing a thing) that had the text "You have the same number of hours in the day as Beyonce" but I can't remember where I saw it or figure out how to search for it. Any ideas?

I can find the quote, but not as a gif.

Today is being super Monday-esque. Our financial systems have not finished their update with last week's costs, so I'm already behind on my weekly workload. I got an e-mail from K-Bug that just makes me want to cry and I have no clue how to respond.

I've had that conversation, Connie. So many people come into the library with the I hate computers brain. In rare instances I have been able to have conversations that has somebody at least start thinking that maybe. The hate on that they have for the computer is part of the problem

Don't respond,now . In the end your response might be something like I can' t respond. Because. This email is...controllingb, a threat, telling me to be the bitcha, telling me to be a doormat, etc. and that is not something I can respond to.

But wait to say anything. If it can't be said face toe face ,it can wait.

Unless this makes no sense- then ignore me

That makes perfect sense beth. Various responses are floating through my head and some are reasonable and some are just not and I'm not sure how reasonable I want to be.

CJ just buzzed home from school during his off period to give me my B12 shot. We were supposed to do it yesterday and forgot. I was on a conference call the whole time he prepped the syringe and administered the shot.

More news on the Arapahoe High School shooting. The shooter and CJ went to the same middle school at the same time but they didn't know eachother. ARP has been providing around the clock crime scene security at AHS since Friday. I just heard that they have released it from being a crime scene, but the team is scheduled to be there through Wednesday. CJ, unfortunately, is still on grade suspension, so he hasn't been a part of this mission.

American Horror Story is messed up, yo!

Found it! It was on instagram: [link]

Sheesh, Suzi, that whole situation is so awful.

re: computer hate, I've had good luck with saying that they went into their line of work because they wanted to work with buildings, not computers, but the computers caught up with them anyway, and I wouldn't know the first thing about building or repairing a house. It helps them not feel stupid, just unfamiliar with a particular type of knowledge. I've had customers tell me that other techs here have made them feel dumb--hopefully by accident! But I will admit that I have evil fun with people--generally women--who pull the "I'm too old to know this stuff, tee hee." A few years ago a female customer said, "Oh, I'm 48, I'm too old to know this sort of thing." I'm afraid my voice got a touch chilly when I said, "I'm 50."
