computer literacy

I just had a patron ask me 'what is the easiest way to get to ebay?" This is the same person who last week was mystifyed as to 'how to find the google' or what the internet even was.

Sometimes I get the old people that want me to do all their interneting for them. I understand that they didn't grow up with computers, but it doesn't take a lot to get the hang of it. Marty's 84 year old grandfather knows how to use the internet and has his own computer! my granparents are all in their 70s and they can all use the internet. Astounding! I know some old people don't want to bother with learning about computers, but if you don't want to learn don't come asking me to find the internets for you.

This state is like one giant retirement community.

Gross

So I went to the doctor yesterday about my cough and it turns out, I'm just allergic to everything in Arizona. So now I'm on Nasonex (the stuff Antonio Banderas the bee advertises) and so far its not helping. At all. They also did something horrifically gross to me. Apparently I had some 'buildup' in one of my ears (only one though) so they irrigated my damn ear! It was so awful. They took a syringe of what smelled like vinegar and water and shot it into my ear (which hurt like crazy) then went into my ear with little plastic hook things. I don't know what the nurse was doing because they said that it normally didn't hurt and my ear still hurts today! And I can't hear out of my right ear now, so try to talk into my good ear.

I also hate when they weigh me. I almost gained back all the weight I lost this summer. Looks like I'll be dusting off my Wii Fit.

Oklahoma?!

This weeked Marty and I went to Phoenix/Scottsdale. I got to eat at my all time favorite restaurant Carrabba's! We Also went to this awesome used bookstore called bookman's (its a little like hasting's or vintage stock but much bigger and everything is used) And bought a lot of books! Sadly the point of the trip was to get rid of a lot of our books by selling them too bookman's and I think we ended up taking home more than we brought to trade.

In other news, Marty and I have been discussing our options and are considering a move back to Oklahoma quite seriously. Marty would have to find a job first but I'm optimistic about the idea, and am hoping to move back by spring so I can enjoy all the Oklahoman allergens. We're going to have to wait and see!

While we were in Phoenix I saw a lot of Obama signs and bumber stickers, it made me quite happy to see other Obama supporters here in Mccain's 'home' state.

Conceding the point

I have a wicked cough. I'm still fighting it internally and mentally. I read (on webmd) that some women say that if the refuse to believe they're getting sick they don't. So, white blood cells, please calm down, everything is fine we're not sick. Maybe do something productive like make my nails grow faster and be stronger, okay? thanks.

A Case of the Tuesdays

I am not a fan of Tuesdays.

days of the week in order of hate
(one being most hate seven being less hate)
1. Tuesday
2. Wednesday
3. Monday
4. Thursday
5. Sunday
6. Friday
7. Saturday

Thursday and Sunday almost tied. Sunday is good because its the weekend but the next day is Monday which means work and/or school. Then you have Thursday, you're at work and/or school but you know the next day is Friday which leads to to the best day Saturday.

Monday is #3 because I work at blockbuster on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

I have a blog

Okay, so first off I must admit I stole the idea to have my very own blog from my friend stacy!
http://stcay.blogspot.com/
That's her blog, I enjoy it immensly.

Anyway, my blog will probably be about my day job at the library (gila county communtity college) and various other daily happenings. So, I'll tell you a few things about where I work and live to illustrate your mental picture of my life. I live in Payson Arizona, if you've never heard of payson then I envy you. Payson have somewhere between 13,000 and 20,000 residents, the majority of whom are over the age of 65. During the day I work in the library at a small community college. Two nights a week (and sometimes Sat. morning) I work at Blockbuster, my own personal hell.
