  • screwed by the sc, screwed by the cw

    dmfan: me
    cw who is higher up the food chain from me: cw
    sc: fucktard
    One of the librarians in charge of the area in question: ann

    We have 60 computers on the first floor of our library for public use. As you can imagine, the homeless/shiftless will spend the whole day at the library playing farmtown and WoW. No biggie if there weren't people who want to write term papers, take a test, fill out a form, file something, etc. So most of the computers are occupied by people addicted to computers.

    We had on the third floor an area for just research computers, but considering no one has a spine, we get people just watching YouTube up there. "I'm doing research!" yells a guy looking at youtube, even though he isn't taking notes, is one ex.

    On the second floor is 2 computers that should be used only for looking for jobs, starting up a small business, and also to either fill out forms for financial aid or to apply to a college. For a while us librarians were not too sure about the college side of the use of the computers. People would come up to take a test for a class and we would let them but the librarians in charge of those comptuters told us no, they are only for filling out forms for financial aid or to apply to college.

    So guess what happened to me on Tues night?

    Fucktard comes up to me:

    fucktard: I am waiting for a computer downstairs, but I see you have comptuters up here. I need to take a prep test for a class in my college.
    me: sorry, those computers can't be used for a prep test.

    I go to shelve books. A cw from another floor comes up to me.
    cw:dmfan, I don't know if you understood what this guy (guy wasn't with her) needed the computer for. He needs to take a test to qualify for a job.
    me: he told me he needed to take a prep test for a college class.
    cw: well, he needs the test for him to get a job.
    me: well, Ann is here tonight, let's ask her.
    cw: (giving a "must think happy thoughts, not thinking about choking dmfan) I think I will log him on, if I"m not suppose to then I will let them know it was my fault, not yours.

    Oh, fuck you both Fucktard and cw. Cw believes in customer service and making nice with customers, but hey, you are stuck with me 8 hours a day. Who you want to piss off more?

    anyway, I coudln't do anything but since we have a customer login control on the librarian's computers, I just periodically removed 2-3 min at a time from fucktard, so he wouldn't notice he got 20 min. less.

    So I go to Ann latter and ask her about it. She didn't hear anything from cw. I tell her what I heard from fucktard and what cw heard from fucktard, and when I mentioned he said "job" to cw, Ann said, "oh, he knows the magic word."
    Time! Time! Time is what turns kittens into cats.

    Don't teach me a lesson; all I learn is that you are an asshole.

    So... was this "job" for two hands? or one?

      How much do you want to bet that cw gave ft the "magic word?"

        I am curious... How does one play WoW at the library? I can understand the silly Facebook games, but WoW is a significant Install and requires low ping times for an adequate experience...

          I'd be paranoid as hell about logging my account in on any public machine even with an authenticator.....never know what it could be infected with!

            USB drive with the game on it. If the system allows USB drives to be plugged in (you'd be surprised at how many do allow it) he can play without a problem.

              You know, I don't know if that could have ever happened at my old library... In order to use a computer you had to have a library card.

              But in order to get a library card you had to have proof of address.

              So... I don't know if they really had a "computer option" for the homeless there. Well, plus we only had like 5 computers anyway, and three of them were for "teen use"... and the other two were for using the catalogue really, instead of web surfing...

              And the nicer libraries had a few to use, but they mostly just had a wifi connection for the patrons.

                To be honest, I just assumed it was WoW. I never seen the game (or maybe I have, I'm just not too familar with it), but I see something freaking complicated and just assumed it was wow. Though lordlundar is right, since our compters will read a flashdrive.

                We have computer use-only cards; before Jan. 1 2011, we didn't need an id for use of the computer use-only cards, but since too many people have multiple cards, we start requesting ids and asking for $1 fee to replaced a lost card. But people at shelters can get a letter from the shelter that says, "so-and-so lives at X Shelter" and they can get a card.

                I was reading a newspaper from maybe 1910, 1915 (can't remember the exact date) but an art. mentioned you have to show proof of being employed in order to get a library card!
