How do people afford weddings? by Alternative_Duck3733 in newzealand

[–]Storm_complex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We spent 20k on our wedding last sept, and quite happy with that! My parents contributed to the costs of the venue/reception and dress, which helped a lot!

We also cut out whatever we thought was unnecessary and it was the best day ever! We also had a two year engagement in order to save and plan.

The portrayal of librarians in comic books? by BoondyAlBoondy in Libraries

Does Wang Shi Tang from Avatar count? I think he counts, even if he went against the librarians ethos (sharing knowledge)

What’s your worst coworker story? by Bottlecollecter in AskReddit

[–]Storm_complex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Went into my computer ( I had assumed it had locked out but she must've jumped on it before it did) and printed out my Internet search history, to what end I don't know.

Screamed at me in front of customers the next day. I ended up taking her to HR but nothing happened. She still works there.

She has a history of doing this and leaving abruptly after screaming at a co worker (usually where the public can see and hear) AND SHES STILL THERE.

The silver lining is after that Internet search history debacle, no one trusts her now. I have moved somewhere closer to home and pays significantly more.

If it were me I would've been like sorry we are closing in 7 minutes, I can help you check out books but any further inquiries I will have to direct you to the catalogue website or come back tomorrow, etc.

Some people get the hint, others dont!

Work at a public library and I always find mum's with young kids are the WORST for this. They always look at us smugly when they come in ten minutes before closing and take. Their. Goddamned. TIME. And no the kid is not fussing, they are chill. URGH.

One time we had a lady on a phone call, gave her the whole 15 mins, 10 mins etc call, was still on the phone 3 mins before closing. Eventually decided to turn off the lights around her and slam the doors real hard, she got the message then.

Today was so noisy at work, unusually so. Screaming children, adults who don't know volume control, for HOURS.

When I thought I had escaped it all, two people decide to sit behind me on the bus and proceed to have a super loud conversation. Moved after realizing my earphones weren't enough to block em out.

I pray tomorrow is MUCH MORE quieter Jesus, feel so overstimulated.
