Best Phone Call Ever

I just got off the phone with "Leslie" who called me to let me know that she had spoken to our Payroll Lady and that we are not unemployed thanks to our union contract. Apparently there is a section in our contract that states that the staff will continue to be paid if the library is closed due to an act of mother nature (I don't know exactly what it says because my copy of my union contract is in my house somewhere). I cannot tell you how happy I am. I'm so ecstatic that I have a job and that I'm still getting paid.

I Hate Julia...

I swear "Julia" is the biggest asshole I have ever met. She comes in at 9:30am today (Which she was scheduled to do) but as soon as she got in she had to make a ten minute personal call. While she is doing God knows what I was situating myself on one of the reference computers (I had my e-mail open, blogs I read up, etc.) when a patron came over. I went into the stacks to help the patron out and when I come back "Julia" is all comfy at my computer and she didn't even think twice about the fact that I was there first. The minute I saw her I was like "Excuse me, I had my e-mail open and I was working on stuff..." she just looked at me and said "Oh, I saw your e-mail open, I opened a new window. Do you wanna close your stuff out?" I wanted to scream at her. I was there first!!! I closed my stuff out and stormed into the office. Two minutes later I walked out and said that I needed to finish the work I was doing and print out a few items to order. She stuttered and asked it I needed the computer she was on. I practically yelled at her and said yes because that was computer I had all of the patrons information on. She kept her ass in the chair and slid over. I was so mad. She pissed me off to the point were I started to have a TMJD flare up and I was getting a headache.

After a few more stupid thing flew out of her mouth I had it. I stormed up to the administrative office to see if our Director was in. He wasn't, so I told the Payroll Lady that I needed leave because if I didn't I might punch "Julia" is her ugly face. She spent a good twenty minutes talking me down and convinced me not to leave, but I was still slightly annoyed.

Apparently while I was gone she was giving patrons incorrect information and she pissed both "Marie" and "Amy" off. At least I wasn't the only one, I guess.

It's Official...

My Director and Department Head just agreed to let Lenni and I go to New York Comic Con next month and I am so excited. The minute I heard it was confirmed I ran upstairs, grabbed Lenni and had one of the Payroll Ladies buy our tickets for us. So I officially have my ticket and I will be attending October 13th for professional hours and on October 14th for myself.

Now that I have the tickets the biggest question is should I get dressed up again this year. I'm thinking that I'll go in jeans and a t-shirt on Thursday, then on Friday I'll do it up. I'll have to think about it. I'll let you know what I decide...
