{ Post in haste }
-
PipsqueakI realize from comments made to my post of a few days ago that I could have been clearer, but I was posting quickly and in anger. My complaint was not about a patron. My complaint concerns a coworker who, after nearly two decades of working in libraries, should be able to at least look up the names of a few British authors without too much trouble, and without running to get me before even trying to help the poor high school student in need of a book by
any British author, living or dead. I know Wikipedia is all too high on the list in many Google searches, but hell, while I don't expect this coworker to know how to use fancy library databases, I KNOW she knows how to use the Google.
My main source of frustration when I was posting the other day was the fact that this coworker runs to her fellow employees with nearly every question, problem, or task that she might have to think about dealing with.
That's enough.
