What's your deal? Got a scar from a paper cut from a card catalog as a kid or something?<br /><br />I wish you would have given your definition of a "REAL job." Go read a book you angry, angry person.<br /><br />@ ANON2 ha-haBibliotecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09547083507939863798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265285070836014314.post-22066146495263740132014-07-09T08:03:38.990-04:002014-07-09T08:03:38.990-04:00Fuck you.Fuck you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265285070836014314.post-3877369809367671292014-06-24T11:31:18.991-04:002014-06-24T11:31:18.991-04:00Really.

Librarians who get paid $50K a year are complaining about minimum-wage pages who's jobs consist of constantly checking the book-shelves from the time they come in from the time to leave and is the only thing they are basically allowed to do, least they upset the all-mighty hierarchy? Bookshelves that host 1,000+ minimum of materials and articles, navigating around public and having to deal/interact to the public to some degree while all a librarian has to do is sit down at a desk, smile, and deal with a few over-the-phone and face-to-face interactions? Put a few covers on some books? Reading some books on a day-trip to a school or other setting? Talk to the Director and drink kool-aid? If anything, the librarians are the ones who have it the easiest in their own ivory-tower subsidies and are over-paid customer service reps that have little to talk about others. Anything that a librarian has done is something that a customer-service rep at retail has done and so much more. There is little to no room for complaints here. Librarians have it easy, easy to the point that it's become ridiculous. You don't want to work really, out of the few other problems too. You are a lazy group, in a lazy job-position and you don't want to get off your butts and do your jobs have of the time, especially when it comes to the use of patrons mis-using the internet to look at pornography. Congrats. Comparing your jobs with other jobs that deal with real use of skill and not just a MLS degree title makes yours a complete joke. There are people out there that work REAL jobs, not phony ones that happen to have a degree in them where all you do is sit on your rumps while soaking up tax-payer money. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265285070836014314.post-33191388532363612712012-07-11T22:59:32.523-04:002012-07-11T22:59:32.523-04:00Hey ZOON,

Unfortunately, their lasting memory has now biased this one page manager's hiring process so every young person is automatically disqualified, kind of sucks.Bibliotecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09547083507939863798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265285070836014314.post-73214877528017166822011-12-28T11:58:10.895-05:002011-12-28T11:58:10.895-05:00I'm pretty sure our Director does more work th...I'm pretty sure our Director does more work than the rest of us.
