It's Hump Day!!!

I know, I know, it's not Wednesday. But if you work Thurs, Fri, and Sat, it is hump day!

And the next two days are going to be really bad. Even yesterday, there were only two of us working and we had 3 bins of books, well 4, but who's counting, that we couldn't check in because we were working at it while we kept up with checking out patrons, since that's our job. As it was, we had to let the books just fall on the floor in a big mountain in the book drop room since all the bins were full. And the books on the cart for the hold shelf, we couldn't get on the hold shelf either.

So when I go in this afternoon, maybe it will all be done. :)

Anyway, the number of us working for Friday and Saturday is horrible. So it will be the same.

And then? I only have 1 day off to recuperate before I have to work on Monday, and start this mess all over again.

I read a sign in a business that said, "No whining allowed."

And yeah, I'm whining. But I have good reason to whine. The workload is frustratingly overwhelming, and we're told we're not getting our jobs done. Right. You can only do so much in a workday with as few of us as there are and with as much work that's getting piled on top of us.

But hey, a patron was angry that we weren't watering the plants out front and they died.

Hmm, add that to the schedule. Water plants when we have time. (Although, that's not our job.)

:)

Off to do more enjoyable stuff--write!!! :) You see why I do this? To take me out of the real world!

Have a terrific hump day, even if yours is already over!!!
