yuck

I really do not understand how some people's library cards get so filthy. You would think, that for most people, you keep your library card in your wallet and remove it when you want to check out books, then put it back. How does it get dirty? I mean, people hand me cards that are literally covered in dirt and grime. What are they doing with them?
I'm not a huge germaphobe or anything, but it's just gross. I don't want to touch your filth-encrusted library card.

Christmas fairy

No madam, I will not just "pop down" to your house after we close to deliver you some parking vouchers. No madam I will not walk down the icy paths in the dark to a random house with unknown occupants because you can't be bothered to walk in.

No madam, even though you are retired I will not open the library during the Christmas holidays so you can stroll in and buy a parking voucher.

Yes I will bend the rules for you if you are prefpared not to yell at me. No madam, I wil end the conversation now. You can complain all you want there are no "proper managers " around I'm all you've got.

You pulled that guilt trip on the library assistant, but that shit don't work on me. Get your daughter to do it or pay for her own fucking parking.

dirty mouths

Moron with the barbiche. My hearing can still detect low frequency noise that is muttered under one's breath. Keep your opinion about me to yourself. Maybe you'll enjoy being assisted with your avid DVD borrowing habit by taking your selection of movies to somebody else. I've tolerated your attitude toward me long enough. As far as I'm concerned you can take your videos and shove them up your ass.


current mood: hateful

Unshelved Answers: Big Prizes for Questions and Answers!

My favorite question this week came from Eric Williamson, who asked for help finding a science fiction audio book he listened to 10 years ago. He provides an amazing amount of detail, but no one has named that book yet. Come on, people!

Answer of the week goes to sarah, whose response to Bubbles' question about what to look for in a MLIS progrom included these magic words: "...pick a school that has professors that have actually been in the field as librarians." I couldn't agree more.

To ease Eric's pain, and to reward sarah's thoughtfulness, both get a signed Unshelved collection of their choice.

Visit Unshelved® Answers if you've got questions or want to share your knowledge with others. And please vote up good questions and answers.

A not so fond farewell mofos

Dear good library patrons,
It's been my pleasure helping you and I promise you are getting the best  people we can offer to work the desk up here.

Dear Mofos:

You all are the most entitled, ignorant, and illiterate group of people, beyond what I would have thought possible.  I am very excited about this back office job just because I don't want to deal with you.

It is no longer my job to babysit your idiotic selves while you blow two hours every day of your life on MySpace (and, about that- seriously it's almost 2010)

It is no longer my job to get cursed out for expecting a 17 yr old to be responsible enough to have either their library card, id, memorize your number or put in your damn phone like the smart kids do.

I no longer have throw creepy- ass old guys out of the teen section for looking at American Cheerleader with their hand down their pants.

Get a job, read a book, get a life and go the fuck to school.

And one last thing motherfuckers: It's Li-brar-y not Li-bery,  you can ask me a question not axe me a question, and if you don't like the fact that we have rules I'll give  you fucking refund on your way out the door : it's not like any of you all pay taxes anyhow.
