{ The library is not a sane place }
Smartass-Anyone who can work an extended period of time in a library knows this. No one comes out sane. It's a matter of mental osmosis, I'm fairly certain of this now, so it's a matter of who you work with and who you serve. Today, Excellent Help Bitch and I both were told to "fuck off" for asking someone to use proper language in the library. After talking to said person, I was told that harassment charges would be filed against me for asking him to leave the premises. See,
I'm harassing
him by working here and asking he follow library policy. Damn me and my strong work ethic.
Then there's the matter of using a copier to resize some text. Some people tend to find it difficult to understand that copying something at
50% will make the text smaller. *headdesk*
Then there's the matter of a jaded substitute employee, who recently lost in a job interview to someone who just *happens* to be the director's secretary's daughter... After she was promised the job. Her words "this system is so messed up with hiring, it should be in Kentucky". Lovely inbred joke :).
I'm slipping. I dunno how much longer I can hold out. Look for me in a
Nancy Pearl outfit, shusshing people at random...
EDIT:
I also had the intense joy of taking reference person's favorite type of question.
