Brand New Day, Same Old Sh*t

Been a while. Haven't had much to complain about lately ...

... except:

- The guy we caught masturbating in the public washroom. That was a new one. Won't go into any details; suffice it to say, at least he cleaned up after himself. That, too, was a new one.

- I was given a hard time by some for taking a sick day for the first time in over two months. In the meantime, there are other staff who seem to miss an average of one day every two weeks. How many sick days do they get, and how can I get in on that action?

- Tweens in the library. They seem to serve no purpose except to run in circles while simultaneously screeching at an extraordinary decibel level. Honestly, why can't we just be allowed to hit them with a stick? Worked wonders in the 50s, or so my father tells me.

- Vendors. They can't design a halfway-decent ILS or database, and don't seem to care to listen as to why we feel their products are inferior. They're in the business of software development; you'd think free upgrades addressing user concerns would be SOP. Of course, I only once worked in software development, for a vendor, so what the hell do I know?

- And I still don't have my new chair. Bastards.

So, yeah, nothing new, I guess. Just another couple weeks at the office.
