CAMLS

So we are officially entering the matrix CAMLS=NEO. I am sad to see them discontinued but at least they replaced them with another organization that is supposed to do what they did just with a bigger area. Well, I have McNaughton's to pull this morning to hasta manana. Also, just remember that tickling is just a candy-coated version of using force. Except I didn't tickle that lady. I just used a massage technique to get her to open her hand. GRRRRRRRR. And she did, and I would have asked, if that hadn't worked. Which I guess just proves stupid inspirational talking lady's point about force. Except I did not tickle her. Which still today makes me grumpy. At least I knew what heliotropic meant.

I'm very confused >.<
When is a slower time for me to come in?

Sorry, I guess I shouldn't have been so vague. CAMLS= CLEVELAND METROPOLITAN AREA LIBRARY SERVICE (I think?) and know they are being merged with three other large areas and will be NEO (NORTHEAST OHIO ...don't remember the rest) and thus I am sad. Yesterday, at the CAMLS workshop, there was a motivational speaker and she gave a talk about how we all use force and to demonstrate this she had six people (I was er, volunteered by my table) to pair up and then one of them was to make a non-threatening fist and then the other person had ten seconds to get it open. I had it open in two seconds because I just smiled at her and gently rubbed the inside of her wrist, she opened her hand immediately, which was my intention. And then I realized that I probably could have just asked the lady to open her hand. But the speaker insisted that even though I was gentle I had used force. I don't think so, for I am not a forceful person. I definitely did not, however, tickle her, which is what the speaker said. The other people sorta gently pried their partners fingers open. I didn't pry, which I think was less forceful. It just makes me mad cuz I used a technique I read about in a book and it worked and no one but me thought that it was totally cool :(. Well the lady did. She thought that it was fast thinking on my part. We are not busy towards the end of the day. Why don't you come in around five or four-thirty so then you can just come home with me?

Ok, that makes a little more sense now. I was thinking around 5ish as well, so I just have to see if mom can bring me.
