Typewriter Tantrum...

Honestly I thought that I was going to be walking into a war zone today when I got into work at 1:00pm. Tensions have been mounting between "Julia" and "Marie" as of late. The recent drama is revolving around "Julia" leaving a book on "Marie's" desk asking her to type out a new label for it and "Marie" responding by leaving a note on the book stating that she isn't her secretary and that she will not do anything for her. "Julia" went and complained to our Department Head, so I thought she was going to say something to "Marie" but she didn't thus no chaos. I seriously contemplated telling "Marie" about "Julia" complaining about her and starting a fight. I didn't do it today, but maybe I will tomorrow depending on how bored I get.

While You Were Gone...

Apparently interesting things still occur even when I'm not in the library -- Who would have thunk. While I was on vacation last week "Marie" and "Julia" had it out over ceiling fans ("Marie" ended up blowing up on "Julia" after she got snippy with her for turning the fan off), a man came into the department with his child wearing only a Speedo® (There is obviously more than one problem with this, but the main one was that he had a huge package and you could see everything. They had to call the Director down. It wasn't pretty I heard) and they interviewed replacements for that evil bitch "Sarah's" job (I wish I would have been around for it because I know within 5 minutes of meeting a person if I'll get along with them or not. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens). I honestly wish I was around when all of these things happened, but I still enjoyed my vacation and Miami still beats the library.

Aside from all of the above, I was told that the department was extremely quiet without me around -- This was half due to the fact that people weren't talking to one another and half because my awesomely obnoxious self wasn't around. My Department Head was telling me that it was deathly boring with out me around. I guess they need me around for there to be some life in this department.

Neck Rolling Mothers...

After having the most peaceful first half of the day, "Emily" and I began the evening by getting screamed at by one of the kid's mothers. She came in rolling her neck, yelling at us for kicking her daughter out with all of the kids that were being bad -- Her daughter and a bunch of others were running around being loud, etc. She kept saying that her daughter didn't do anything, that she was nothing but respectful, that it wasn't fair that we lumped her daughter in with other kids, etc. -- She spent fifteen minutes yapping her mouth about how her child is an angel and how she is her mother, not us. We argued with her a little, telling her if her daughter wasn't being bad then she needs to learn to walk away from her friends if they are, blah blah blah... This wasn't a good enough answer for this delusional woman. She eventually left, but apparently as she was leaving she ran into our security guard who put her in her place and changed her mind about her daughter's behavior. I heard that once he talked to her that she started screaming at her daughter -- Which she deserved because she is bad.

After this woman left one of the tutors that was there walked up to me and whispered "That bitch is crazy. She got me in trouble with my assistant principle because she said I was disrespectful..." She went on for several minutes telling me about all of the problems this woman has caused her -- I mentioned it in my note in the incident book.

This wasn't the first time I've dealt with this crazy woman. She actually yelled at me several months ago for "screaming" at her daughter -- I almost cursed her out because of it. I really hate this woman.

Babysitter Brawl...

Yesterday I wasn't feeling so hot, so I ended up leaving work after thirty minutes. Apparently I missed a brawl between my favorite nanny and some random old woman. Earlier today said nanny came up to me asking for my Department Head because she wanted to apologize to her. I asked her what had happened that she needed to apologize and she goes on to tell me that she was getting ready to leave with the kids, so she bundled up the baby and put her in her stroller, she starts to cry -- She cries all the time, she's a baby. The nanny was about to get the baby's brother when a random woman (who she nor no one else in the department had ever seen before) walks up to the stroller and rips it open screaming that the baby is suffocating and that she was going to call the police on the nanny for child abuse. At the sight of this woman touching the baby's stroller the nanny cursed her out -- Totally understandable in my opinion, you don't touch other people's strollers and/or children. There was apparently a screaming match and our Director had to be called down. They had the old lady leave and as she was leaving she was questioning one of my coworkers about how often the nanny came to the library, saying she was still going to call the cops. I cannot believe I missed such chaos.

As the nanny was telling me the story she was getting worked up. She looked at me and said "Miss. _______, I was gonna beat her ass!" I looked at her and told her I would have let her, because I don't blame her what-so-ever for cursing the woman out.
