WHY I DON'T USE MY BIRTH NAME ANYMORE WHY I DON'T USE MY BIRTH NAME ANYMORE: Another semi-elderly white woman updating my card @ library disrespected my "birth name",reading my license she said,"You're -------" with a smirk on her face,...NO I'M BARACK OBAMA lady,...why does she think I handed her the card ? But she would probably say "For legal purposes we have to ask" so I just said "that's what it says,doesn't it?" She took a

10


long time to update my card (they make u do this every year to make sure they have all your current information). I noticed she didn't have a nametag herself. This is the library where I reported the baby in the van,and the library staff barely did anything about it.There's something wrong here.Also,As I waited in line to update my card, a weird old man got in line behind me,& asked me about the pins on my hat . I have a few rosebowl pins & a "Walk 4 life West Coast" pin. So I used the opportunity to tell him about the 50million babies killed since Roe v Wade. I wasn't sure by looking at him where he might stand on the issue,but he responded, pathetically,"That's a tough one." And went on to say "The world's overpopulated" ,blah blah blah,NOT TRUE,I said God made world for humans,not trees,not for the insects...;the plants & animals are for humans,as long as we also try to be good stewards.;I knew it was futile talking to him,which is why I usually don't do face-to-face evangelism. You can't argue a person into believing something,whether its about faith,or abortion,or politics. The only thing that changes peoples minds is a personal experience that affects the heart,and good arguments don't do that. I abruptly turned away from him saying "Nice talking to you" and resumed standing in line silently.Then the lady came up personally to me and asked me what I needed as if it was odd that I was standing in line. Normally,they stay behind the counter and say "Next person please",but she walked all the way down and around the counter & personally came up to me & asked me what I needed,as if I was lost or something. Very Bizarre.I've been coming here for years,and they always make you update your card annually in order to login to the computer.The only thing strange is why they make you do so.Most libraries don't.And then the way she said my name was like a 2nd-grade teacher who enjoyed controlling kids. Once again,that's why I've changed my name by usage,and people who use my birth name in a controlling manner are assholes,and deserve to be treated like assholes. I'm 48-years-old,not a 2nd-grader.

SHAME ON HIM: library jerk beverly hills, little did he know that his bad behavior would be reported by me for all the world to know about

23


THIS GUY SAT NEXT TO ME AND WAS VERY OBNOXIUS, SEEMINGLY INTENTIONALLY SO...KEPT LAUGHING TO HIMSELF LOUDLY OVER AND OVER ...AND THEN started snorting and sniffing like he was snorting snot from his nose...it was very despicable..and didn't apologize...didn't even try to be a little more quiet..it was really something to behold..very annoying..very tiring....you ever experience that? somebody sits down next to you and without ever having met you immediately decides they don't like you 24


and are going to try to let you know how much they don't care about you ? That's what it seemed like this guy was doing to me. And the problem is that when you are at a library computer, depending on the time restrictions, you can't always quickly & easily move to another computer (assuming there is another one available), ...or other times you have your flash drive or phone connected and are in the uploading process, and to stop and move to another computer means you have to abort the process and start over (very timeconsuming)...so if a jerk decides to sit down next to you, in some cases he has a "captive audience"...all you can do is turn up the volume in your headphones and try to ignore him...; sometimes you can complain to security but it's usually subtle obnoxious things that they can't do much about other than tell him to "try to keep it quiet"...; what causes some 25


people in the world to try to be obnoxious? Attention-seeking? Lord we pray for this young man whatever his situation may be...whatever issues he may have..let him come to You Lord this Christmas time !

link to aggressive security guard @ glendale main library

he was mean-browing me for a while...similar to another Filipino security guard they had for a while who I haven't seen in some time. When he realized I was snapping photos of him (which is allowed in the public sphere) he changed his demeanor a little bit. I don't know why Glendale does this so much...they have had a long history of somewhat gruff behavior by some of the library employees...not sure what to make of it. 27

re natalie at newport beach library, thoughts & prayers

thoughts & prayers for Natalie at Newport Beach Central Library...she works so hard..tries to be nice..albeit sometimes looks at me like I'm a stranger...; we all love Natalie ...a great worker..keep up the good cheer and please keep an eye on people being excessive at the computers (ie eating loudly etc...I saw Natalie tenderly trying to wake up an african-american lady on the computer..she was SNORING very loudly..but they were SO AFRAID to wake her up with a loud noise...they kept whispering.."excuse me m'am"...; now if that was me..do you think they would be so nice and kind? I don't know..All i ASK for is kindness in an appropriate manner..and don't act like you've never seen me before if you see me often..

@PioPicoKoreaLibrary, Wilshire & WIltern Los Angeles...this is a run-down library amidst a lot of poverty in LA, ...THEY do have functional computers, and the staff is responsive in general to customer needs...it's NOT a very friendly place..don't expect a smile or a hello from anybody, let alone simple conversation...but if you need to get on a computer or read a newspaper you can do that...but be mindful that their computers have NOT been updated in many years...still using outdated internet explorer (no firefox or chrome etc)...; and don't expect that to change in the next ten years...this is L.A. (and that's 30


true for the entire LA public library system...all using outdated IE, ...EXCEPT perhaps for the west Hollywood library..I think they have updated IE , but then at WeHo you also have to contend with the constant gay propaganda on the walls Posted by Endof JayLeno at 1:16 PM No comments: Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest Friday, December 12, 2014

11/24/14 at beverly hills library...didn't see the "regular guy" there

34


11/24/14 at beverly hills library...didn't see the "regular guy" there...usually there's the same guy always in the same seat often talking to himself aloud...but he wasn't there this time..wondered what happened..he was always an annoyance, but needless to say he is still in our thoughts & prayers...; and that brings up a good topic...what do we do as Christians about people we find 35


annoying in public places such as at the library? I complained once about this guy thinking he was just being possessive of his place at the library public space and trying to make others avoid him...we do have a right to quiet at the library for that matter..the guard asked him to be quiet..but he did the same thing again next time I was there..what do I do as a Christian in a public place where a person is being annoying, having bad manners, etc. ? Is it un-Christian to complain? or just the opposite? Do we, as Christians, have an obligation to expect others to behave well? sometimes people swear intentionally around me because they know I am a Christian. What do we do?

Fwd: Warning: re PUBLIC LIBRARIES & SEXUAL OFFENDERS

Warning: re PUBLIC LIBRARIES & SEXUAL OFFENDERS I must warn you that SOME public libraries apparently assume that some of their patrons are sexual offenders. In a few situations as I was traveling and visited a public library I definitely got the feeling that they thought that I was a possible "predator" (wrongly so, of course! I am not a sexual offender ...never committed any such crime nor have the proclivity for such...needless to say never been convicted of such) ...and in one case, oddly enough, closer to home, I used the stairs to exit the newport beach main library...which means you walk thru the children's section as you leave..and the lady librarian said cryptically to me that I should not walk thru the children's 66


section again. It's a shortcut if you're on the south end of the library, 2nd floor. And once they have it in their mind that you are or might be something dangerous, there's no use protesting to them. You're better off simply staying away from such people. And ironically in some cases this sort of marginalizing of good people is self-serving...it makes the staff think they are superior and protectors while all patrons are secondclass citizens, or simply "possibly" so. Let me repeat: In some cases they may treat you as a possible predator NOT because they truly think you actually may be but for the sake of marginalizing you for politics sake...could be gender politics, racial politics, sexual orientation politics, etc. (ie in some cases females may try to marginalize males for the sake of gender politics; in other cases a gay person may try to marginalize a straight person for the 67


sake of sexual orientation politics; and the list goes on).Unfortunately, the straight white Christian male is too often the target these days. So I am just saying, beware..and don't get yourself in trouble. Stay away from libraries or certain sections of the library where the employees act this way. Fortunately, there are plenty of good libraries where you can walk thru the children's section (because it's an integrated part of the library, not because you have a "thing" for kids) without feeling like you are Osama Bin Laden in an American airport.

7/23/14 somebody sleeping @ cerritos library (cerritos needs to update their computers or we will ALL be sleeping!!!)

cerritos has a beautiful facility but the computers are from the 80's. It's like a lamborghini with a clunker engine. It's a 108


sign of a "static" administration (as opposed to "dynamic"). This means the paid employees are content with "going thru the motions" and simply making sure patrons are being "obedient"; as opposed to helping patrons excel, and being active collaborators with the patrons as opposed to "us" v "them." In some situations, when it is "us" v "them" some systems actually are trying to keep "them" down...ie don't give them too much or there may be an "uprising". It could be a subtle form of racism .

7/14/14 The "REGULAR LADY" at the LIBRARY

welcome!

WELCOME! This blog is dedicated to our public libraries...many of which I visit on a regular basis around my extended community, near and far. Most of the times I am pleased with our libraries and the staff...when things are working well, and the atmosphere is pleasant, our public libraries are great places to study, learn, browse, read newspapers & magazines, go online, and much more. When things are working right, the library staff & management deserve our applause, and have earned their paycheck. However, at times, as with all institutions, sometimes things become dysfunctional for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it is due to poor management; other times it is due to simply poor personnel . Sometimes if you have "one bad apple" it can ruin the 112


whole batch (at least temporarily). Other times there are certain "patrons" who degrade the atmosphere at certain libraries. I often use computers at public libraries whereby the patrons are all lined up next to eachother like dominoes, clicking away on their computers. Some patrons are doing school work, others are blogging, others are checking their e-mail or bank accounts online; still others are amusing themselves with online games or hollywood videos. You name it, almost anything & everything can be found online these days. And anytime you have people stacked so close together there arises the tendency for "friction." Somebody may sit down next to you who hasn't bathed in a while and don't always smell so good; or their hands may be filthy and they use the keyboard...which you happen upon afterwards. Other times the person next 113


to you may be neurotic. I happen to go to one library where the same lady, an african-American middle-aged woman, is there EVERY SINGLE DAY. No, I don't mean most days, or almost every day. I mean absolutely EVERY single day and ALWAYS on the same computer. She has become very possessive of the computer area. I mention her skin color only because this particular library happens to be in a predominantly white area and so she comes in with an "attitude" ...even the first time I encountered her I could feel the "anger" emanating from her. She had already set up a "battle" between herself and all the "whites" around her. We were/are the "enemy." This morning, after not having come to this library in about a month, I arrived knowing, without a doubt, that she would be here. First, I saw her car in the same spot...always the same spot...another sign of neurotic 114


tendencies. Then there she was on the same computer. I sat down as far away as possible, and realized it was quite warm in the room and that the fan was aimed directly at her, not rotating...so I walked over to turn on the rotation button, and she immediately jumped up and objected to me doing anything to the fan angle or rotation. It was unbelievable. She really has come to think of this as "her" room, so to speak. And I have no doubt that she is ready to "play the race card" if anybody objects to her possessiveness. If I go complain she will probably try to turn it into an anti-black matter rather than a matter of her "hogging" some of the library assets. That's one example. And the list goes on. Thus, if you can't "win" at least you can blog about it and hopefully get some of your matters off your chest...maybe some of you are praying people out there...this may seem like 115


small potatoes compared to all the big issues we have in this world, but if you don't mind, add public library harmony to your list of prayers from time-to-time. I will be posting here from time-to-time to report on the "good, the bad, and the ugly." God bless you all.
