  • No water, no air, not open!

    I get to work at 8:30 this morning and see the chief librarian and other staff outside the building. Of course, I think of a homeless person locking himself up in the bathroom the night before and killing himself and we can't enter because of the criminal investigation. Did I mention I have an over active imagination? Well, I know this wasn't good. I find out there is no air, and the chief put a sign saying we won't open till noon.

    Did I mention that we just reopened this library afte a 2 year remodeling? And that this never happened before?

    So I go up to the 4th floor where our offices are. We also find out there is no water, and we have to wait for someone else to tell us if we can go home in 10 min.

    The chief is going around asking for our cell phone numbers. Seems he had mostly our home numbers. He was saying he was calling people at home but they had left.

    Granted, he posted on the blog that the air was out at 6:58am and we should come in at 11 am. So that means he should have reached some poeople at home. Like I don't leave home until 7:35. Anyway, I have to go out and wait for a local bus that takes an hour to get me to the Park and Ride . The park adn Ride bus doesn't take people to the P&R in the morning. So I get home at 19:30. Well at least they let us off, though damn, I get up early to go to work and takes me 3 hours to return home (from the time I left home to the time I get home
    Really, from work, it took me 1hour and a half, since I walked to catch the bus and had to wait).

    Then around 3:40 I get a call and it's one of the managers thining she is cdalling another manager. This manager said the chief gave her my phone, saying it was the other manager. This manager doesn't know if we have to work on Sat (the next day). I get home, check the blog and see that at 3:08 the cheif says we work tomorrow. Wah.

    I do have to say this chief works like a mule. So he's not a bad chief. I'm jsut mouthing off because I wasted time today.

      i'd assume she means air conditioning... I know in a lot of areas people are lazy and just call it "air"

      (actually that's common in Nevada... they also call evaporative coolers "swampers" )
      If you wish to find meaning, listen to the music not the song

        Yeah, no air conditioning. I mean, I have yet seen a library that can vacuum out all the air Ok, there are some libraries with rooms where the air can be vacuumed out, but those rooms usually have priceless collections, and only a librarian can get in the room.

        Oh, they probably will pay us. They usually tell us ahead of time if we have to take the day as a vacation day.

          I'm still trying to puzzle out the original post. I got the no a/c, no water thing, but the rest... my brain is simply refusing to process it (I know it's just me, since others seemed to understand it).
