{ Humming an inane tune at the reference desk... }
-ExcellentAnother Saturday full of the “cringe factor.” When every person who approaches your desk is another potential attack on your sensibilities and sanity. I try not to think “what the fuck do you want now?” when I see them approach (does it show on my face? Bad customer service).… but, honestly….
“Can I rent some headphones?”
“Can I use your computer while I’m waiting for my session time? You’re not doing anything.”
“Can I sign up for another computer while I’m waiting for mine to open?”
“Do you sell games?
“Can I reserve this movie?” “No.. It hasn’t even made it to theaters yet, the library won’t order it until it has a release date on DVD.” “So, I can’t order it?”
“Do I need both sides of this tax form?”
“Will you itemize my tax form for me?”
“Can you make a copy of this for me? I don’t have a dime. You can’t charge it to my library card? Do the copy machines take credit cards?”
I have such a fucking headache. It’s gonna be another straight up scotch night… sans soda.
