{ Learning at the Library! }

Dear You,

Actually this is addressed to the both of you, who feel that you are now ready to begin learning how to truly use a computer, internet and how to print things out. For that I commend you, bravo, well done and all that jazz. You might, however, want to alter your immediate surroundings to improve your chances of learning. For starters, try paying slightly more attention to the child you brought in with you. Your child (and I use your to mean he is in your posession) has a fondness for screaming and crying and it appears his favorite past-time is faking coughing, sneezing and choking. You may want to check that he is just faking it. Or you may want to unbuckle him from his stroller, seeing as how he couldn't possibly be a day under 4, and probably feels rather confined, as many 4 year olds do.

Another tip would be to exercise some amount of common sense. When printing something off, something you are required to pay for, try reading the text of the buttons you are clicking. For instance, you clicked on the "Staff Override" button. I believe you meant to click on "Pay for your Prints" button. You are not of the caliber that we here at the library hire. No offense. Incidentally, I will not tell you the staff password.

The last bit of sound advice I can give you at the moment is to pay attention to the mistakes your spouse/lover/friend/sister/whomever made. I explained them to her a mere minute and a half ago, with you right beside us seeming to pay attention, a decent 25 feet from your much-irritated child. Yes, I understand your question, and why you might be a little confused. No, I will not give you the staff password.

Yours truly
smartass boy
