Decompressing...
Man. Bad day at work -- one of those days when you start off in a good mood, and someone comes along and wrecks it for you. I'm not usually bothered too much by rude people at work -- I don't have to spend much time dealing with them, after all. But the guy I dealt with today... I think it's going to get uglier before it gets better. He's been using the library for a few months now, and, at best, he's rude. At worst, like today, he's abusive. Today, he was upset because I asked him to show me his library card, so I could check a book out to him. Simple request, no? He gave me a thorough telling-off instead... and it normally wouldn't bother me, but he does this every time. And, it seems, only to me. I don't know what the problem is, and I don't much care, but I don't like feeling threatened. I don't like having to smile and be nice when someone's treating me like shit. I ended up telling my voss about it, and she's going to speak to the head of the library -- I don't know what they'll do, and part of me doesn't want them to make a big deal of it, but... I don't need to be abused at work, you know? I'm just trying to do my job, and I try to be nice about it. And I'm sick of this guy's attitude.
So. Bad day at work. I cheered myself up by buying two new books, and a pair of very cool retro-looking Converse sneakers. Simple minds, simple pleasures. And, at the moment, I am too distracted by the goings-on in the 3WA chat room to write any more... or to be in a bad mood, for that matter...
