At Hamline, we have a massive stapler. Massive. It can go through up to 25 pages at a time, which can come in handy when writing a long paper. This stapler is used all. the. time. It is likely the most used item in the library.
Well, evidently, it stopped working today. The breakdown occurred long before I arrived, the staff just kept telling people that it wasn't working. Somehow, that memo didn't get passed to the night staff. As a result, a few students came to use it and it wouldn't work. The girl staffing the circ desk didn't know it was broken so she got new staples out for it, but she didn't know how to load them. She brought it to me. I have never loaded it, but I figured "how hard can it be"? Turns out, fairly hard. Getting it open seemed to require an engineering degree or else a great deal of stubbornness, which I have. (The latter that is, not the former). After I struggled to get it open (with an audience of students and staff at this point) and reloaded it and put it back together, the first student stepped up with his packet and--nothing. It still didn't work.
I flipped it over to look at the opening and saw what appeared to be a staple jam. Unlike a standard stapler that opens several ways to provide total access to the mechanism, this one is back-loading and didn't open flat, that I could see. This meant a small space within which I had to work to remove the staples that were jammed. Of course, this seemed largely impossible. After fussing for 5 or so minutes, another staff member came back from her break and said, "oh, I forgot to tell you, the stapler is broken. No one knows how to fix it so we put in a work order and someone is coming out tomorrow to either fix or replace it."
Seriously?
I mean, come on. It is a stapler. A stapler. Not a copier or some high-tech gizmo that needs a serviceman to come out and repair it. It's a friggin' stapler. At this news, a couple of the waiting students packed it in and headed off to resume their lives. But the one who tried it first, he wouldn't give up. He looked at me (I guess because I am in charge) and I said, "give me a couple minutes, I'll get it fixed." I don't know where this confidence comes from. I had already done what I knew how to do and the thing was still broken, but I guess I just thought that I simply must be smarter than a stapler.
So, I dug out the tools I needed (which, because I work at a library, consisted of a ball point pen, staple remover, and a scissors) and got to work. I figured like any other stapler, I just needed to pry the jammed staple out of the hole and it would work again. I completely ignored the fact that I didn't actually have the room I needed to maneuver and I set to work. 5 or so minutes later, I finally got that damn staple out.
But, peering inside, I could see another one. So I dug that one out. And another. And another. And another. And another. FOURTEEN jammed staples later--the mechanism was free from jams and when the patient student stepped up, it worked perfectly. He looked at me and said, "that was awesome, nice work" and I felt better than I do after helping someone find information. Probably because it was nice work and, frankly, I am awesome. See, I never really needed that fancy education.
I just sent in an email to cancel the work order--and now I am the girl that knows how to fix the giant stapler. Guess I better go update my resume.

Imagine how successful your child can be with a brilliant mind,lightning-fast learning skills, an accurate, lasting memory,creativity and problem solving skills of a genius. Dear Friend, My name is Esther Andrews. I am the mother of 2 highly gifted children. My daughter Tammy is a successful psychologist and a Ph.D. student. She works with autistic children, and creates wonders in their lives. I am proud of her. My son Eric is 20, and he, too, is a Ph. D. student, at a famous university. He also teaches math to other students - his own age - at that same university. He has never gotten a grade under A. I am so proud of him, too! When my daughter was one year old, she has already talked and expressed her amazing creativity. When she was 18 months, she has already dictated to me several children's books: her creativity and imagination were amazing! When my son was 2 years old, he could read to himself some children's books (as you can see in the video below). At the age of 3, he could add, subtract, multiply and divide. In kindergarten, he tested at the 12th grade level in reading, comprehension and vocabulary. in 3rd grade, at Stanford's program for gifted youth, he tested at the 99th percentile for high school children. WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR CHILD TO BE BRILLIANT, GIFTED, A GENIUS? I have done it, and so can you! When my daughter was born, I have had no idea how to take care of her. I didn't even know how to change a diaper, or how to hold a baby. But I knew that I want to give her the best chances for a good, successful, fulfilling life a child has ever had. When my son was born, I already had some experience, but - again - I have decided to give him the best opportunities I could. I have started my own research. I have read every book on the market, I have tried my own methods, I have talked with parents of gifted children, I have watched what parents of the most brilliant children are doing with their kids. I have tried every technique I have heard about on my own children. I went from an inexperienced, new mother, to a mother of 2 highly gifted children, and later became the principal of the "School for Gifted Education". This is my story. MY PHILOSOPHY: Every child is born a genius! What you do with the child, is what determines how much of his potential he will achieve!

In the Law of Attraction, Hicks shows how we should envision scenarios that bring us what we desire instead of just wishing for the end result. He also shows that focusing on what you don’t have as the reason why you want something can have the opposite affect. We attract to ourselves what our energy attracts and it is the same for the entire universe.
The Universal Law of Attraction governs the entire universe not just us. These laws cannot be broken or changes and are the most powerful energy out there. The basic principle is that “like attracts like. You receive what your energy is focused on, whether you want it or not. Focus on the negative and you get more negative, focus on the positive more positive will come to you. You are a human magnet, an energy source attracting like energy. In the Law of Attraction, Hicks is quoted as saying “That which is like unto itself is drawn”.
If you can learn how to harness this energy and turn it into the positive for yourself, you can deliberately create your own future. You are already attracting people, jobs, money, situations and more into your life. But right now it is haphazard until you learn how to use your energy to attract what you want. The three basic steps is to ask, say yes and allow it. In the Law of Attraction, Hicks show you how to be clear, how to focus, how to visualize and how to raise your vibration. Your thoughts or emotions vibrate from you to the universe and bring back the same. Think positive and clearly about what you want and visualize how you will attain it. Put that energy out there and the universe will take care of it. Be open and allow it when it comes, be doubt free, act like it already exists and be happy to have it.
I recently discovered a convenient way to learn the same powerful ideas by either playing it on a CD or listen to it on an MP3 player. It is a concise, complete system that has been specially formulated and PROVEN to give you accelerated and success all in the comfort of your own home. Find out more here at 11laws.
Remember, harness the energy and create your very own miracle. When you expect miracles, miracles happen!
I am frightened by the young, their lack of what I consider to be...basic education and the ignorance of their own history. And I'm not talking about ancient history either. Two cases in point.
1. A young woman of 19 at work - doesn't know what 'Columbine' means to most of us. Doesn't know what Oklahoma City was. Thinks that a 'zinger' is a candy bar. Is firmly convinced that New Mexico is not part of the United States. And yes, this young woman has graduated from the local highschool.
2. Another young woman at work of 25 who has 3 young children - brought me a handful of 'funny money' the other night, perturbed that a customer would leave her a 'fake' tip. She didn't recognize them as US currency. They were Kennedy half dollars. She'd never seen one. Didn't know who John F. Kennedy was. I was happy to exchange them for paper dollars. This young woman also graduated from highschool (tho not the local one) and is admittedly one sandwhich short of a picnic....but REALLY!
Neither of these young women have decent grammar....making such basic mistakes as not knowing the difference between 'you're' and 'your'. Using the incorrect 'stare' for 'stair', 'there' for 'their'. Perhaps its due to the fact that they both text constantly and proper vocabulary isn't necessary, I don't know.
The breakdown of education frightens me.....I fear greatly for the young, fully cognizant that these will be the ones who are changing my bedpan and giving me my medication in the old folk's home. I guess I will just have to text them....*sigh.
