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.

The Sum of My Parts: A Survivor's Story of Dissociative Identity DisorderThe Sum of My Parts: A Survivor's Story of Dissociative Identity Disorder by Olga Trujillo


My rating: 5 of 5 stars


olga, sexually abused and brutalized by her father beginning at the age of 3 and later her brothers and their friends protected herself in the only way she knew how, going into her head.  i was extremely impressed by trujillo's courage. it must have taken balls of steel to talk about her past and here she is, writing a book for the whole world to see. i struggled through parts, and cried quite a bit. i admire her honesty as well. she was very forthright about her issues and what her part was in the ending of her relationship with her husband. highly recommended, very fascinating.
