Public library

Shawnee123 · 09-09-2006, 01:58 PM

I don't have internet at home right now. I came to the library to look for books, and stopped at qpb.com for recommendations. Of course I had to stop in the Cellar.

The term "public library" of course consists of two parts: public, and library. The library part is great. The public part, not so much. Amazing how disgusting and rude people are. Some lady was standing right behind me watching her daughter, snorting and snotting and sneezing. Some stupid looking kid with long hair and a 'tude was next to staring at the screen with a vacant look like it was supposed to do something else. Another guy dropped his son off, asking the 'brarian why you needed a card to use the computer but not to check out books. Huh? You need a (FREE) card for both, buster. Son plopped down anyway.

I can't wait to get out of this financial hole and get hooked back up at home. Then again, I hate Time-Warner, so I'm not sure what my best online alternatives are. Any suggestions from those in the know?

Thanks for the rant time! (If you listen closely, in the background you can hear "Moooommmmmm, can't I just have 10 more minutes?)
