buhay ng empleyado sa gobyerno

ang katangahan mo, wag mo ipasa sa iba

after a month of being closed due to the retirement of the person in-charge, i was assigned at the library last january. barely a month after that, the higher ups decided it was the best place to conduct the board meeting. so they started renovation, repainting and whatever cleaning up the library/building needs for the even more higher ups of education. needless to say, the library closed yet again. i stayed there as long as i could even when they were banging, scrubbing and moving things here and there. when it was unbearable and was making me cough and sneeze so much, i decided to return to my previous office to work on my other assignments/designations.

after almost a month, the meeting was finally over and i was able to open the library again. by then the semester have already ended.

now the summer classes have just began and masteral students are starting to flock. i dont like masteral students. they act like they own the place. just because it's the graduate studies library doesn't mean they do. they're arrogant, irresponsible, tactless and acts like or worse than grade school children:

a. can't read - how hard is it to read the sign posted at the door? it's right there staring them at their faces whenever they come in but they still don't know they need to present their library cards or registration form.

b. can't follow instructions - what's with "fill-up the bookcard and give it to me" that they don't understand? my god! masteral students at that and can't even follow simple instructions.

c. have authority problems - do they always have to try to bend the rules for their own sake? it's not as if they'd die if they follow or that the rules are unreasonable. they just always have to do it their way.

d. big mouth - always complaining that the library is closed when i haven't even been absent for a minute! what's with the words, "pls come in we're open" say the library is close?!

a lot of people ask/complain to a lot of not-concerned-people that the library is always close. the hell! i dont even go out of the library except lunch and after 5 and they have the nerve to say it's closed?

just because, the door is closed doesn't mean the library is closed. if they have taken the time to walk their lazy asses a little further up the front door, read what's posted on the door, turned the doorknob and opened the door, they would have realized how stupid they have been all these time complaining that the library is closed when it's in fact open.

and just because the graduate school have classes from friday to sunday, doesn't mean i have to work til sunday. don't give me the crap that just because i dont go to work on sundays that then the masteral students only use the library during fridays and saturdays. pu-leaze! tell that to somebody else but don't use that to me. the library open from tuesday to saturday. don't go complaining about your sunday. taking up masteral studies is hard work. make the time to do your research and don't blame other people. and please oh please! before you enrolled, you should have asked yourself first if you have it in you to do it coz frankly, if you don't know how to use the library, i don't think you should have graduated from elementary school.

on other library matters.

the main library collects the periodicals daily. that's what they've been doing since the old lady retired. aside from the clerk who is working there but was suppose to be working with me, they have student assistants to help them. but goodness gracious, they are still complaining that they have too many work. too many in fact that they dont have the time to get the periodicals.

just because, the information director collected the april 20 issue and gave it to me, doesn't mean i'm going to get the periodicals from now on!

this morning, i told them that i have the periodicals for yesterday. they asked if i can get the issue for today and i said no. then this afternoon, i closed the library early so i can give them the newspapers and the librarian said.. "we still don't have the newspapers for today..." im like so? am i suppose to answer that? i work alone at the library. did they really expect me to close the library, go out, get the newspapers and give them their copy?

i don't even go out of the library when i dont have to and i still get feedbacks that it's "closed" and they still want me to go out and get the newspapers? what do they want me to do?

the good thing is...
im leaving!
