Beliefs

Well, to be honest, not much has happened that I have cared to report. Actually, I had a bad few days a while back and actually decided not to blog, just so I wouldn't be so negative!

I, of course, have been busy with things.

Last week, I went to a workshop in Columbia all about resume writing. I actually learned more than I thought I would. We also got to go to RCPL and tour their Job Center. It was pretty amazing -- they have a grant, though, and therefore have tons of resources for it.

Anyway, since then, I've been working on calendars, brochures, flyers, and such for our computer classes, which are starting back up in just a couple of weeks. I'm a little nervous about them, but I think I'll be okay. :-)

I guess I've only had two somewhat interesting encounters with patrons over the last couple of weeks:

1. A lady with a low-cut shirt and a rose tattoo on her breast came to the desk. She wanted to know the name of some singer in London (or England... she couldn't remember which one...right). She said he was pretty well known and that his first name was Alan. She insisted it was spelled A-L-L-A-N, by the way. Well, I just did some googling, because such a well known singer could theoretically be googled. Absolutely nothing. So I asked her what kind of music he sang. "Vampire." What, now? "Vampire rock." Um, sadly, there is a pretty famous Vampire Rock group in England. Also sadly, no one in it is named Allan... or Alan, or Allen. Then the lady told me she thought she remembered his last name, but she wasn't sure. She attempted to spell it for me. "F-U-C-K-B-E-...." Wait, stop right there. There is no way in hell I'm googling that!

2. Seriously, about 10 minutes ago, this lady started talking to me about how she loved reading the Word, and that if you pay attention to what's going on in Israel right now, it should be obvious that Jesus is coming back in the next 5-10 years.
