Okay, I never should spend extended time with the retirement folks who are my age. It just makes returning to work so much harder. And hard it shall be. I have left knowing our new staff member might be stealing from staff, but no way to prove it. I, of course, check my email in between visits to cooking stores and afternoon teas, only to find out 2 staff members desk drawers had been broken into and some equipment had disappeared. Security cameras proved nothing other than late arrivals everyday from this guy, as well bike riding through the library. Issue was addressed-back to the interview process...
In addition, I am losing yet another staff member who is invaluable to us. I am happy for her-well deserved promotion, but sad for us. And it puts us in a cliff hanging situation when it comes to having enough bodies to cover public service.
The joy of coming to work is starting to fizzle. I needed to print a document in color yesterday. I have no color ink for my printer, nor can we order any. We have a public color printer, but we are asked not to use that for staff work reasons. We had one color printer in the workroom that had color ink, so I had to email the document to myself, walk to the back room, pull it up, and print it. Can't I just do my job? Can't we have more than 125.00 a year for programs when we are required to do 14 programs a month? Can't we have a budget like Baltimore County library? Can we have a staff the size of Baltimore County?
Well, it is Friday...that's a positive thing. Can't wait until Monday.
