zhieI'm on lunch break. Why? I'm unexpectedly working a split shift. Why? All of my evening people are sick.
Normally, I don't mind splits, but Wednesdays I have office hours from 2-3, and my day people all leave by 4, so taking my break pre-four, not happening. I would have had about two hours break initially between am and pm, but as I was leaving I had to contend with an 'issue'.
Basically, someone called this morning and asked us to hold something. We pulled it, told them to come in. When they tried to check it out, it so happened that someone was requesting it as an interlibrary loan, so the clerks told the person they couldn't have it. Apparently, they were not happy, and instead of walking across the room to get me, the staff basically told this person she couldn't have the item. So, I had to go on a scavenger hunt to find out who this person was (which included hunting down a student worker on her lunch break, as she has a class with this person whose name no one knew) and then call the person, apologize for the staff, and offer to hold the item until she returns. Oi.
I think lunch is almost done... have to eat and then run back down there... and I'm already tired! At least Dad pulled me out of the library to take a break around 10... that was helpful for my sanity and caffeine level.
