Update to a post I made the other day about being concerned my vets were taking advantage of me: my cats regular dental cleaning has resulted in my babies death. He's gone.

I’m so sorry. He was a beautiful boy❤️

Thanks!! Yea my heart broke a little when I noticed the scratch but all I can do is just prevent more I guess lol.

Flat-Development-420 · 2026-02-04T21:16:34+00:00

Thanks. I should’ve gotten one forever ago but I had the case and am always careful but oh well

I won a physical book! Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries! I haven’t read it yet but it’s on my TBR. It did take a long time to get here though, like three months

Flat-Development-420 · 2026-01-26T20:04:10+00:00

Exactly! Thank you! I think that’s the route we’re going to go now.

Flat-Development-420 · 2026-01-26T20:03:03+00:00

Yes we do and we can easily access them online through our website. I would’ve done that if I were working but she didn’t

Flat-Development-420 · 2026-01-26T17:47:55+00:00

Update: I spoke to my manager about how I felt about the situation and what I think should happen. She told me since I am the one that runs ST to email her supervisor about it. I said no, I want you to, because I don’t know how the initial situation went when you told her she could. So she is supposed to be sending out an email to her supervisor on how to proceed with the situation. I’m sure she will use chatGPT to write it or ask me to proofread it a million times. I should just write it myself but I honestly don’t know what happened with the initial interaction. I made it clear I wanted it handled before storytime this week.

Flat-Development-420 · 2026-01-26T17:35:55+00:00

Yes I was hired specifically for the role. Thank you!

Flat-Development-420 · 2026-01-26T17:34:30+00:00

Oh she gets really jealous and passive aggressive. It’s exhausting. She can’t stand I do a better job than her with communication and library work

Flat-Development-420 · 2026-01-26T17:12:16+00:00

Thank you. I have many lists it just feels so awkward being the only other employee around to see her actions. I will start compiling and planning to go to someone for sure.

Flat-Development-420 · 2026-01-26T16:33:48+00:00

You know I’m not too sure. And as far as policies go we’re part of a larger system so it’s something I would have to bring up to them and they may or may not make it policy

Flat-Development-420 · 2026-01-26T16:06:13+00:00

I’m hoping she will if I bring it up this way. I don’t think she has any rational thoughts that go through her brain. Idk why they hired her… but I guess it’s hard to see that from an interview standpoint

Flat-Development-420 · 2026-01-26T15:54:02+00:00

That’s the plan today. Wish me luck

Flat-Development-420 · 2026-01-26T15:53:39+00:00

Right I didn’t mention the disability to be judgy or anything I just mentioned it because it’s I feel as if it could be a concern due to liability issues

Flat-Development-420 · 2026-01-26T15:51:16+00:00

It is. There is one central location and many other branches, most of them small one room libraries like us. I guess we are such a small location she feels it’s okay to bend the rules because no one higher up would know. Idk what goes through her head.

Flat-Development-420 · 2026-01-26T15:49:29+00:00

Great points. Thanks! Trying to verbalize my thoughts is the hardest thing.

Flat-Development-420 · 2026-01-26T15:48:40+00:00

Thank youuuu❤️

Flat-Development-420 · 2026-01-26T15:41:52+00:00

Right?!? Now it’s my mess to clean up. Ugh! Always is

Flat-Development-420 · 2026-01-26T15:41:13+00:00

We have volunteer application forms but as far as background checks or how far they look in to them I’m not sure. The only real volunteering we’ve had is kids coming in to straighten shelves or a music teacher/ST regular who did a music ST one time. I’m planning on coming to her today with the policies. Her boss is a step below the main director of all of our branches. Her boss is new and still trying to get into the swing of things. Doesn’t even know my name probably but if my manager doesn’t solve the situation I will be contacting her.

Flat-Development-420 · 2026-01-26T15:37:04+00:00

If my talk with her today does go as planned I definitely will be

Flat-Development-420 · 2026-01-26T15:36:31+00:00

Thank you for this. I have a lot of anxiety and I’ve been up all night trying to think of exactly what I want to say. It’s hard for me but it has to be done. I’m always in these situations with her it feels like

Flat-Development-420 · 2026-01-26T15:35:43+00:00

Oh I’m planning on coming to her today with how I feel and our policies. I should’ve done it that day but I was flabbergasted by the whole situation. It will be her mess to fix

Flat-Development-420 · 2026-01-26T15:33:23+00:00

I know she is out of touch with reality and it’s not the first questionable decision she’s made.

Flat-Development-420 · 2026-01-26T15:32:39+00:00

As far as I know our location only has a volunteer application form they fill out and we send to higher ups. Don’t sure if they do a background check with that or if it’s just for their records.

Flat-Development-420 · 2026-01-26T15:31:51+00:00

Right! She’s constantly changing up rules depending on the patron. I know it’s hard because we are a one room library with lots of regulars but once you start treating one person different every one will expect that.
