Saved by a librarian!

on Mar 11 in Life, SxSw by

Thank you to Jenny Benevento, the resourceful librarian who saved me a few seconds ago as I desparately searched for a knife to cut moleskin for my poor beat up feet after a run-in with some sandals last night. It was a pretty weird coincidence, since I was literally in the process of sending Jenny an email about meeting up tonight.

Or maybe it wasn’t a coincidence. I supect the number of librarians carrying useful tools in their bags is significantly higher than you know, normal folks.

    Blasted airports. They need to lighten up. I mean, security is one thing, but the stuff they ar banning….!

    I don’t know what I’d do without my Gerber Multi-tool.

    On an ordinary day, in my purse (which had to be bought large enough for an average mass-market and/or trade paperback), I have:
    - a pocketknife
    - 2 nail files
    - Shout! Wipes
    - three or more writing utensils of various persuasions
    - makeup
    - gum/mints
    - a lighter
    - a pencil sharpener
    - a bottle of assorted OTC’s: aspirin, aleve, gas-x, cold pills
    - a dart tool
    - a small bat (baseball, not chiroptera)
    - CDs (blanks and pre-recorded)
    - confetti
    - earrings
    - a LightWedge Mini
