A Borrowed Library Rant

 

So there is this website I dip into from time to time.

I’m not signed up to it or anything, although the summer holidays and all they bring with them into my place of work has made me consider it.

It’s called ‘The Society for Librarians* Who Say “Motherfucker”‘

Here is a snippet of what one might find on said site.  This one comes from pcdoc:

Dear Patron:
yes, we do have a lot of internet computers and yes, many of them are in use right now. Some people may be looking for jobs, some doing research, some working on their resume and yes, we do extend time.
However
It’s 82 degrees outside, nice and sunny, not too humid, pleasant breeze blowing.
Your 8 year old is bored to tears and you are still on the computer, after 3 hours.
Are you working on a resume?
Doing research?
Job hunting?
No.
You’re watching cartoons.
For 3 fucking hours

It’s a relief to see that some library customer habits are the same the world over.

Even if it is fucking annoying.

    A reserved bunch, aren’t they?

    That’s sad. Today, I spent a lot of time with my child.. we went to the dog park, took another walk later in the day, and then rented some videos. Pretty amazing, since she’s been a bit under-the-weather.

    Sometimes computers are an incredibly unwelcomed distraction. :(

    Yes! Oh yes! It is the same the whole World ’round! Bad parents may be found everywhere! Then they can’t understand why their child is out of control or in trouble. Stupid, stupid people.

    I got lasered in the eye today by two little shits who couldn’t have been more than 10 years old.

    When I say ‘lasered’ I don’t mean they had futuristic guns or anything, but one of those pointy laser thingies.

    I’m almost tempted to go to work with an eye patch for the next few days to see if I can get them arrested or something…

    Or maybe some really good grotesque make-up to make my eye all pussy and manky…

    OK, going just a little bit too far now – they probably wouldn’t give a crap anyway. Little shithead fucksters.

    Small mirrors are great weapons against lasers. That, or a 10,000,000 candlepower spotlight.
