said i'm sorry i, i had a bad day again
Work sucked hard today.
I mean, the day after a holiday weekend is always a bitch, because things pile up. And I understand that. But it would be a little bit better if my coworker would get off her ass and help a little.
When I got to work at 12:30, the shuttle had not been touched. It had been there for two hours, and nothing. It was pretty small, though, so I didn't complain much. Kim apologized, and said that they'd been very busy all morning and that she'd had 53 paging slips (books that need to be taken off the shelf and sent out to other branches) that morning. I said, "Wow, 53? No wonder it took you all morning."
No. She'd only done 25 of them. "Really busy," she said again.
Okay, I've been working at the branch for six months now, and I can with full confidence call fucking shenanigans on that. I've seen busy. I've seen really busy. I've seen post-holiday-weekend busy. And you know what? I still managed to get the paging slips done.
In fact, I got the rest of her paging slips and the shuttle done in an hour and a half. And I created four new patron records. While my coworker ate lunch and then went over to talk to the reference librarians. After which she went home.
Am I a superbitch? Probably. But I have never been this exhausted after a day at the library. And I can't help but feel like it wouldn't have been half so bad if I'd had the help I should have this afternoon.
