As I said, I am going to try to do at least a quick sketch every day. Here is my sketch from yesterday. It was drawn with the new pens that I had received for Christmas that I had kind of forgotten about. I discovered that I really like them. So, there you have it: a rhino in the new year created with my new pens, unfortunately not in a new sketch book.
Now it's time for my mandatory talk of the weather. It seems as though it is not quite as cold today. My apartment was in the high 60's when I woke up this morning rather than the low 60's, so that's an improvement. I actually am not even covered with a blanket at the moment, however I do have my computer on my lap.
I really don't have much more to say, other than the fact that I am not looking forward to going to work and making a million library cards again. No more guest passes for the computers means constant library card production. And I'm getting sick and tired of some of the high and mighty attitudes that some library workers have about people that don't bring their library cards to the library. None of my co-workers have had a life like a lot of the people that come to our library have. Try moving once a month, living in a shelter or having parents that are never home or not taking care of you and then see if you always manage to hold onto your library card. Oh,listen to this hair-brained decision. We are not supposed to give people their library card number if they don't have their card or an i.d. with their current address, however, they can still check out two books. So, we are allowing people to take our materials out of the building without proof of address, but we are denying access to our resources while they are in our building. Does this make any sense at all? I hadn't planned on ranting, but here you have it...

akkk...the library story makes me crazy! How crazy is that? And yep, yep, you are right. Try being homeless for a while and then maybe the high and mighty attitude about remembering one's library card would be placed in a new perspective. Still, the lack of guest pass decision is a strange one indeed, very strange, and reminds me that the more things change, well, the more they stay the same--always crazy---just new forms of crazy. I feel your pain and hope that as time goes, you find peace with your library card production process : (
Meanwhile, stay warm, keep drawing, keep blogging and keep on keeping on....
I heart the rhino. New pens? Do tell? Special pens?
OMG, that is just crazy about the library cards. It sounds like they have no gray areas there...just black and white. Sorry you have to put up with their bad decisions. Rant all you want, it helps get things off your chest. Now, if they would only get off your back.
