Issues of Control

Most days, I have very little to say. Most days, I simply do what I call, hanging out, with my students. I have so much fun answering those questions I can, and pursuing the answers to the questions which are new to me. I do wonderful things like drool over incredible books about beloved artists, I watch as they incorportate the words from the shelf into amazing creations. Once in awhile I say, "shhhhhhhh" and I spend a lot of time resizing windows, explaining how to choose a printer and giving my honest opinion on written and fine creative works. I keep meaning to blog and I keep forgetting...and so I have energy today, and I remember today and of course, I have snippy things to say.

I don't want to stock the library with portable drafting tables! I don't want to take public performance licensure fees from the library budgets each time an instructor shows a movie! AND! I don't want to answer the door 12 times an hour because our library doors MUST be on a secure system requiring a key card that my students generally forget. That's a lot of I don't wants...and...its a lot of I don't wants given the *I* am the manager of my little fortress of whirring passion captured on pages. How did this happen? There are so many things I cannot control!
