How cool is the Library?!

Every time I hear someone bitch about how high our taxes are, I just want to point them to the awesomeness of the library system. There's a lot of fucked up things our government does, but the library is just ... neat

I vote for art. Or a class that teaches you how to use excel, because it is a beautiful thing when wielded properly.

Sorry, I didn't get this comment notification. Erg, LJ!

I hate Excel with a fiery passion, and I'm not entirely sure why. I know how to use it, and use it on a daily basis at work. Maybe that's why? I wouldn't call myself an advanced user or anything, but I do know the basics and I find it to be very useful. But whenever I think about using it, ugh! Maybe I'm just weird.

It's probably just personal preference. I used it every day in college, grad school, and at work, and I still like it a lot.

I looked up classes that our local library offers and all we have are classes for old people on how to check email. :-( I didn't see anything on the Phoenix library site, either. Too bad I don't have a Tucson library card I can abuse. I always had the University library so I didn't need one.

Oh wait, just after I typed this, I found online classes at the Phx library. They were not easy to find on the site! I'm going to check them out.

Yeah, the Pima library had the link buried in a news announcement. I just happened to be checking out the news on the library site to scope it out for jobs :)

I decided on a grant-writing class, because that's something I've had on my mind for a while. Might come in useful someday. And I may actually do an Excel 2007 class if I end up getting this new job I've been interviewing for. My current work is super stingy so I have the '03 versions of everything. I'm totally good when it comes to Word '07/'10, but Excel takes some adjusting.
