Crap Crap...

The Clerk who I mentioned that was trying to get me in trouble for using the word "crap" in a note had the nerve to pretend like nothing was going on and that everything was fine when I walked into the building this morning. It kills me that she and the others were standing there smiling at me when I know for a fact that five minutes before I walked into the building they were talking about me. Thankfully the Head Clerk was there for everything and she was defending me.

I'm done. If these women wanna play games, it's on and I'm gonna win. No more nice librarian.

Crap...

I cannot catch a break. Today I go to work and find out that one of the Clerks (One of the only ones I previously wasn't annoyed with) complained that I used the word "crap" in a note I left on a book for my Department Head. The note in question was a note that was meant for my Department Head's eyes only, she didn't take it off the book when she went to point out to the Circulation Clerks that they aren't doing their jobs properly. The note said something along the line of "Please deal talk with the Circulation staff because they aren't doing their jobs properly and I don't know why I have to deal with this crap. This is Circulation work..."

The fact that this gossipy Clerk had the nerve to complain pisses me off. "Crap" is better than the other expletives that I wanted to use to describe those lazy pieces of shit who work our Circulation desk -- Sorry for cursing, I'm just so annoyed. And the person who complained was über friendly with me last month when she was asking me about internships at Justin's job and having him help her son. I put an end to that, my boyfriend will not be helping her son and I could careless if it costs her son anything.

My Department Head warned the Head Clerk that if her Clerks wanna play games like this with me that I'll take them down because I am super observant and I know everything that everyone does wrong. Plus she said that if they made a formal complaint that she'd have to side with me because 90% of my actions have been justified.

This was the last straw. I'm done with all of the Clerks except Head Clerk, whom I am friends with. None of them better utter a word to me from now on.

And Rumors Begin...

I walked into the building a little before 12:00pm and was bombarded with questions about what happened yesterday. I clarified my version of what happened with a few of the ladies at the Circulation Desk and left it at that. But unfortunately I heard "Aubrey" and another not so friendly Clerk whom I shall call "Olivia" talking shit in the stairwell. God knows what they are up to because they hate our Security Guard and "Aubrey" hates me with a passion. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

Crazy Page...

Within five minutes of walking into work this afternoon I witnessed one of the Pages from the Adult Department ("Crazy Page") have a freak attack. She ran behind the Circulation Desk screaming about books coming from everywhere. She was panting and she looked like she was about to cry as she told us about all of the books that she has to put away and how she found a full cart of books hidden in the stacks. She was flipping and everyone in the library was staring at her. One of the Clerks walked with her into the back to see what was wrong and helped her shelve.

Apparently the other day something similar happened and she was throwing the books all over the place and beating them. One of the Clerks had to tell her she couldn't do that because she was afraid a patron would call the police on her or something. I swear my library is like the Island of Misfit Toys.

Dinner Break Dirt...

While on my dinner break I decided to hangout at the Adult Reference Desk with "Derek" and Lenni. During said break I found out that "Derek" hates "Sarah" as much as Lenni and I do. He made a point of telling me that "Sarah" is useless and he proceeded to call her some nasty names.

You can probably guess that I was in my glory when I found out and could not wait to point out to my Department Head that her newest employee is not only disliked by myself and several other people in our Department, but that she is disliked by some of the people at Circulation and by some of the Adult Librarians. She just sighed when I told her. Seven people in total hate the woman and others strongly dislike her. Get rid of the bitch.

So Long, Farewell...

I forgot to post that the Circulation Clerk that I hate, the one that was trying to get the job in my department quit. I was in all my glory when I was told -- I feel like it was a little victory. I'm so happy I don't have to deal with her Annie Hall looking self anymore.

Just Killed Another Career, It's A Mild Day...

If you recall a few weeks ago I mentioned that one of the women from Circulation applied for the job opening in my department and that I hate the bitch. Well, she didn't get the job and the person they did hire starts tomorrow.

Seeing as I am cocky I'd like to attribute my hatred for the Circulation bitch not getting the job. My Department Head claims that my hatred and the fact that two other people don't like the woman played no role in the decision not to hire the woman -- I think this is a crock, but whatever. I'll let you know how the new woman works out.

Circulation Storytime...

For some reason we had a class visit during an odd time today (we typically have them while we're closed in the morning so that the class has the library to themselves and that other patrons aren't around) and thankfully "Julia" was in charge of it -- I hate being in charge of class visits. Seeing as the sound of "Julia's" voice makes me clench my jaw I decided that I'd go down to Adult Reference and intern for an hour. While I was downstairs "Julia" brought the children down to the circulation desk to check out the books that they picked out while they were in the Youth Services Department. After all of the children finish a weird thing happened, "Julia" started reading them a picture book in front of the Circulation Desk.

Why the hell would you have children sit down in the middle of a high foot traffic area and read them a story?! Don't you realize that you aren't in the Youth Services Department and that there are employees and patrons working on various things that don't want to listen to your annoying ass voice reading to a bunch of elementary school aged children?! I don't know what the hell is wrong with that woman. She actually brought it up to me later and said how cute it was. I wanted to tell her it wasn't and that she actually pissed off several Adult Reference Librarians to the point where they brought it up to the Assistant Director. She is such a pain.

What You See Is What You Get...

This blog is basically going to be about the randomness that is my life. As you will eventually be able to tell, I am an obnoxious and unique individual -- or as Lenni (my best friend at work) would say, I'm a "special snowflake." So, if you enjoy the ramblings of a crazy librarian-to-be join me on my adventures, if you don't peace out!
