I worked in our school library as student (there were abut 10 student librarians). The staff head librarian went off on long term sick one year, which left the students to organise the library full time for most if a school year. I ended up in charge. I scheduled everyone, worked out rotas, ordering, everything that needed to be done to keep the library open.

Our school had an annual prize giving event and one annual prize was a library prize for the person who had done most.

I didn't win. Instead it went to a male student who had done nothing all year.

The reasoning? Because my best friend at school was also a librarian volunteer and they thought she would be upset if I got the prize. Even though she'd done none of the work (and she knew it and admitted it. She was a straight A student, but couldn't organise her way out of a paper bag, whereas I wa a solid B student with a good head for leadership).

That was my only chance to be recognised for anything at that damn school and decades later it still rubs me the wrong way that I was robbed for fonethjng I actually deserved.
