1291 down, 400 some to go!
I'm sure I'd be more annoyed with this work, if it wasn't the type of thing I do in the morning. But it is true, we've only got about one cart's worth of CDs to relocate upstairs.
Speaking of the library and odd jobs, those of you who also read adsartha's LJ will know that I was asked by our supervisor to write up a short skit to be performed at this year's staff meeting. It's suppose to drive-home the point of making sure you show up for your shift and on time. It has been asked that the script be posted. I waited until I had the versions that would be the original draft, then the approved draft.
But thankfully the original draft has been approved.
Maybe I can use it for my Writing for Actors class next semester. yeah right
A student SUE checks her watch, and then the clock. She makes a frustrated sigh and dials a number on the phone. For Mary another student, the phone rings, she picks it up.
Mary: Hello?
Sue: Hi, this is Sue at the library. You're scheduled to work with me tonight, and you're already [she looks at the clock again] ten minutes late.
Mary: Oh, yeah, sorry about that. But I'm sick...with the pox.
Sue: Okaaay... Sorry to hear that, but maybe you should've called earlier and let someone know or something.
Mary: I would have! But the thing about the pox is...it makes it hard to push buttons.
Sue: Well, you should have least tried to find a substitute, like you're suppose to.
Mary: I tried! But noone said they could do it.
Sue: All 15 other students. you called each one?
Mary: Yyy---well, maybe ten...five....okay one.
Sue: I thought you said you couldn't push buttons, how were you able to dial?
Mary: Well, it wasn't as bad then! Besides, I figure that you're going to be there anyway so it's not that important I show up.
Sue: Oh yeah, sure not that important. Only it's the busiest two hours of the night, and I'm suppose to be able to help people who want to check out books, get reserves, and are asking for DVDs and CDs, have put away any and all material that gets returned during my shift, and what if i need to use the bathroom?
Mary: Can't you just lock the cash drawer and leave?
Sue:..oh, and I suppose I'm suppose to also lock all the DVDs and CDs that we keep back here.
Mary: I dunno! I'm sick cough cough. Can't you just call someone ask them in fill in?
Sue: That. Is. What. You're suppose to do! Fine you just stay there with your "pox", just don't come crying to me when you get fired because you're not showing up for your assigned shifts!
Mary: Yeah well, if this is suppose to be a really busy night at the library, how do you have time to be yelling at me on the phone?
Sue: Because some guy is still trying to find his syllabus so he can remember his teacher's name to get a vague idea what reserve he needs. [puts hand over reciever] No, you can't come back and look! [back in phone. angerly] Hope you die from it! [hangs up]
Mary: What a rude person. [to the little pink doll in her hand] Don't you think so Syphy?

Actually, I lied. The last line I edited out before showing it to Anita. But I would like for it to be added back in day-of performance.
and dear lord, the Tin-Foil Glasses lady again. Still wearing the dust mask...didn't make it very easy for me to hear her. Today she's amazed that the library will be closed on weekends "No matter how hot it gets". ...Since when did our hours depend on the temperature? NO, we're not going to have someone come in on the weekends just so you have a place to cool down. There are other buildings in this city that have A/C...
