why is it that i never really know what i'm doing?

i went to school. got the 27k in debt to prove it. they taught me all kindsa nifty stuff.

and yet, what do i do when an 8 year old pees on the floor in a stream from the self checks to the kids computers? (and just how big is an 8 year old's bladder anyway?) what do i do when a man with garlic and steak breath professes his undying love to me. again. for the 3rd time today.

this is a chronicle of what i did, when the crazy happened. which, in a public library is much more often than you'd think. and which, they also don't teach you about in liberry skool.

oh, and there's also a book review or two.

what's it like to be bright red?

When She WokeWhen She Woke by Hillary Jordan


My rating: 4 of 5 stars


i absolutely loved the idea of chromes, making people's skin color match their crimes so that we don't have to jail them? almost an attractive idea:) except, that, as usual, absolute power corrupts and in this novel, with church and state joined, chroming is a form of new world lynching with mostly blacks and low incomes being chromed. oh, and pro-choicers who had an abortion. i liked the main character's development from someone who was raised in the little boxed in, evangelical point of view finally coming to terms with her self and developing her own idea of who god is to her. a fast paged page turner as well. would not reccomend to teens, due to sex scenes (not graphic, but who wants the headache?, they'll find it anyway:).
