Librarians Behaving Badly
So madame goes off the good behaviour wagon this arvo.
The manager rings saying she'd like to pick up the newspapers in the morning, she gets in about 7.30 & she'll return them to the library later. Madame says the manager is only taking 2. Of course madame has no idea, the papers are all rolled up in one bundle. Of course. She says she will talk to the manager. The manager comes down later in the arvo & I mention that I'll pick up the papers from her office in the morning. Madame all of a sudden pipes up telling the manager that all the papers are rolled together and I realise she hasn't talked to the manager. I look back at the manager and I confirm the papers are all rolled together and say again that I'll go past her office in the morning. She says no, she'll bring them down. I say but I need them by 9am when I open. She says really? And I say yes, people start coming in the check the papers as soon as I open the doors. Wow she says and wanders off. Madame starts on about how the manager does deserve some leeway and I think she's talking about her taking the newspapers, but then she says she would rather have talked to the manager about it all and I just barely managed not to say you certainly said you would, but then she says it isn't right to ask the manager to deliver the papers to us. She just didn't hear me say, twice that I would go past the managers office. I corrected her and at least I can say she backed down for a change.
