  • I don't like her

    Years ago (she still comes around) I came into contact with a toxic personality. She comes in, uses her card to use a computer. You only get one card to use our computers, but off course she uses her kids' cards. Then she checks out material on the kids' cards and doesn't return them. One kid has over $300 of material not returned. And since she moves around a lot, any letter we send to her is returned to us, with "addressee no longer living here."

    One day I had to tell her to let someone else use the computer she was on, when her time was up. Of course she gets in my face and gets nasty. And of course management make's itself scarce.

    One day I was walking to the computer area to help someone and I hear her say, "I hate her." When I walked back to my desk I hear her say, "I'm a Christian".

    Um, what?

    another time, she wanted me to turn off the filter. With her huffy voice, she's directing me to turn off the computer filter and is just constantly huffing. Like I'm not fast enough.

    Another day, the teen librarian was trying to get teens in a program, but since we are not near any schools, we usually don't have teens in. So this woman and other adults are invited to do the teen craft. And one of my co-workers said out loud, to this woman, "I don't know why you don't get along with my co-worker."

    Because that bitch is always talking smack about me, who turns a deaf ear when I ask her to let someone else use a computer.

    A new system is added to the computers where we can monitor who logs in. So I see her logging in with another person's card and I tell the manager and she says she will log out this woman. Next time, the manager says, "we have to get permission from the Chief." So I guess the bitch must have noticed and complained and instead of standing her ground, the manager decides to avoid as much as she can.

    Now this woman has a name like "Henriette Smith". I've noticed that today and another day she has logged in under a card (an actual library card, where we need to see id, oppose to the computer use only cards, which we dont' need to see an id to give them out) of a person with an Asian name. so I want to take this info. to a manager, but knowing the managers, they will ask how did I get the name, and why was I spying on her. They will no doubt tell me I'm harrassing the woman (even though I don't speak to her).
    Time! Time! Time is what turns kittens into cats.

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

    I wish porn had subtitles.

    So calling someone out on chronic abuse of a system -- in a manner bordering on fraud -- is now "harrassment"? What a world.

    All you can do here is document, document, document. It might help defuse the misconception that you're "out to get" this woman if you document all other cases of computer misuse and fraudulent use of library and computer access cards.

    At my library, the accounts of people who rack up X amount in overdue and replacement fees are automatically locked. I'm surprised she can still use her kids' cards with $300 owed. Actually, strike that. From what you've written about your management, it's not surprising. And we wonder why libraries are losing money right and left...
