Just Tim: September 2009
http://tim-alone.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 29, 2009. A day in the life of a community college librarian:. A student comes up to me at the reference desk and asks if I can help him with a library quiz. I gave a library presentation to his remedial reading class last week, and now the class has to take a ridiculously easy quiz on what I covered. The questions on the quiz are things that I emphasized, again and again and again, verbally, with a PowerPoint, and with two worksheets. Later, I run into his instructor and tell her abou...

Just Tim: Homophobia and the Church
http://tim-alone.blogspot.com/2009/11/homophobia-and-church.html
Monday, November 2, 2009. Homophobia and the Church. Sometimes I can't decide which blog to use for a certain post. Since this deals primarily with religion, I posted it to my Timicism blog:. John Shelby Spong: Honorary Timicist. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Let Me Insulate You. Homophobia and the Church. Musings of a Minor Mennonite. Lorem ipsum dolor sit. I Can Has Cheezburger. Shit My Dad Says (on Twitter).

Just Tim: June 2009
http://tim-alone.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 18, 2009. What Part of STUPID Do You Not Understand? I know I don't have to worry about calling her stupid on my blog, because I know she will never, ever read it. This is, after all, someone who refuses to turn on a computer. Even during a college class. That meets in a COMPUTER LAB. Trying to put her at ease about the online indexes, I told her how much of an advantage she would have using our databases if she already was familiar with the Reader's Guide. What part of no. I let her stew ...

Just Tim: May 2009
http://tim-alone.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 8, 2009. Setting: End-of-the-semester lunch at work. Very social atmosphere. CW: There's a yankee, an oriole, a cardinal, and a cub. Me: When you say, "Yankee" do you mean someone from the North or any American? CW: From New York. Me: A New Yorker? Me; Oh, the Yankees! Is it a fan, or one of the players? CW: Yeah, it's a player. [Rolling her eyes.] They're in uniform and carrying bats! Yankee, Oriole, Cardinal, Cub. Me: Oh, the teams. I thought you meant the actual. Me: I wasn't over. Ladies ...

Just Tim: Parsing URLs
http://tim-alone.blogspot.com/2008/03/parsing-urls.html
Tuesday, March 25, 2008. I was trying to think of what to call this new blog. I wanted something that contrasted with my other blog, Timbecca, which had been a combination of mine and my wife's names (Tim Rebecca = timbecca.) The most obvious choice was Tim Alone, since that most accurately describes the state of this blog while keeping the lyric rhythm of "timbecca," or something like that. So I moved on. My next idea was to put Tim Alone in the URL, http:/ timalone. What are the odds? It turns out it's...

Just Tim: Tim-Alone No More
http://tim-alone.blogspot.com/2009/11/tim-alone-no-more.html
Saturday, November 21, 2009. So I started this blog a year and a half ago, a week after my ex moved out. At the time, I called it "Tim Alone" because it was in opposition to Timbecca. Which had been our joint blog. I chose the URL http:/ tim-alone.blogspot.com. (This was because Timal One. Was already taken.). So it looks like the only option is to create yet another new blog. So I introduce The Timblog. And the occasional rant on. Thanks for reading. Both of you. Tim Alone is officially retired.

Just Tim: What Are You Reading?
http://tim-alone.blogspot.com/2009/08/what-are-you-reading.html
Thursday, August 27, 2009. What Are You Reading? I know carrying a book around in public, like in an airport, restaurant, or doctor's office, is a great conversation piece. Lots of people like to ask you what you're reading. But that's not why I carry a book around everywhere I go. I do it to keep from getting bored. In fact, I would prefer not to talk about my taste in reading with every stranger or casual acquaintance I come across. Susan Seligson's Stacked: A 32DDD Reports from the Front. I sighed, he...

Just Tim: Health Care Rant
http://tim-alone.blogspot.com/2009/08/health-care-rant.html
Wednesday, August 26, 2009. Like a cold, it starts with a tickle in your throat. A twitch in your eye. Before you know it, you're sending nasty emails to family members and blogging about how stupid the American public is, the vein in your forehead pulsing with fury. I feel a rant coming on and I'm about to blog all over my keyboard. Because they want to know if someone else might be responsible for my injury. They're looking to get out of paying for my medical care. What we pay them to do? Speaking of o...
