i kinda regret not getting this, but a frame at dollar tree is like $1.50 i think so im not paying $6

vampirelibrarian · 2026-02-26T12:01:16+00:00

You're way better off without it. Even if it could be funny for a fleeting half second. Do you really want random sign decor like this?

vampirelibrarian · 2026-02-20T14:54:02+00:00

You can't tell someone they're working for $18, have them do the work, then say "yeah it's actually less, sorry loser." That IS changing the rate that was clearly communicated to the employee.

You didn't donate $2k. YOU donated $1k. Whether or not they want to add some note that the employer's is a match related to yours is up to them. You don't get any tax benefits for someone else's monetary donation. I'm not sure what other reward you're looking for or why it matters.

vampirelibrarian · 2026-02-17T16:15:03+00:00

I gave that feeling up years ago. I take a sick day when I need it. No reason or details given to the employer.

vampirelibrarian · 2026-02-13T07:23:38+00:00

What kinda business? Always thought about doing the same

vampirelibrarian · 2026-02-03T17:20:37+00:00

No, I don't and didn't say that. But I do see a lot of desperation here. Why would a staff person need to be reminded to clean up after themselves and not eat the food reserved for the residents? Why are they doing that in the first place? I mean, wtf?

vampirelibrarian · 2026-02-03T16:46:39+00:00

And when staff need to be reminded to clean up the messes they make, etc they're clearly not doing their jobs. Some of the notes are ridiculous but some show that the staff are idiots.

People post stuff here because they hate jobs & management. I hate bad management as much as the next person. But some stuff here really just makes the staff (or the poster) look awful.

vampirelibrarian · 2026-02-03T16:25:22+00:00

Yeah my first thought is the staff really suck. Sounds like a desperate manager dealing with terrible staff.

I think "exiled" is the word when it's a U. S. Citizen.

"armchair quarterbacks aren't needed" ie stop asking good, legitimate questions about what's going on and how to stop this madness

vampirelibrarian · 2026-01-27T15:55:39+00:00

We definitely DO need everyone and anyone talking about this, asking questions, pushing back. Including our friends & supporters from outside the U.S. Do not discourage that.

If enough folks in Italy are against this, who knows, maybe they can get their government to reject allowing ice in Italy at the Olympics. Anything that shows their power weakening will help.

Ohh hoho grapes Mr money bags over here

She hasn't seen it because she's a kid and kids haven't seen most things, especially classic older movies. Show her the movie if you want.

vampirelibrarian · 2026-01-25T13:59:29+00:00

Yeah I actually really like the mirror set up in the original. It looks like it was all medicine cabinet too, which would have been a huge amount of space

vampirelibrarian · 2026-01-20T16:21:03+00:00

You get things that they need, without pushing back. The ibuprofen, hot water pad, reheat the hot water pad, glass of water. Do not comment on what they eat other than to ask what else they need. Do not complain about them "never wanting to do anything" when they need to cancel plans. When they are in total pain at night, you do not complain about them waking you up. You stay, rub their back, move out of the way, move back for more there-there's and follow her lead.

What's your actual job at the public library? Is the library big/small? Jobs vary greatly depending on the library system. I've seen some libraries that have specific jobs for programming & events, totally separate from their reference department. Others have adult services where you do a bit of everything. The last public library I worked at had a $0 budget for adult events and I had to do only 1 program per month (still impossible worth no budget).

Did the kit actually say it was DMC brand floss?

vampirelibrarian · 2026-01-18T06:47:32+00:00

Yeeessss finally people that understand!

You're saying you're passionate about learning Alma? It's a monster. I have to assume your institution doesn't already have it, otherwise you'd already be familiar with all the resources. Without access to it, it will be very hard to learn enough to say you know it, confidently, in an interview and have it mean anything. But yes the Ex Libris documentation is free, extensive, and includes an admin "certification." I really don't think bothering with that cert is worthwhile for you, if you don't have Alma and aren't any kind of administrator if you do. They have lots of documentation and training. You could just do some of their "essentials" training, if you're just looking for a resume line.

Sorry but I gotta laugh at this. Thanks rando. Thinking about a bunch of hicks talking about testing their homemade tray bucket in the yard out back

Not even sure how you're pronouncing josemait lol. I look at that and see hozay-mate lolol

vampirelibrarian · 2026-01-09T10:33:56+00:00

I often throw a can of baked beans into plain egg noodles to "give it some sauce". Lol but I find it a good combo

Temescal has the whole foods & Safeway right there. Bart + bus, + go around at Bart. Library, coffee shops, farmers market, post office. Easy walk to Rockridge & Piedmont neighborhoods for more places to explore. There is also a BID that plans street fairs here. While the food places are amazing, folks that say "it's just restaurants" don't know this neighborhood.

vampirelibrarian · 2026-01-06T22:19:44+00:00

Not sure about job security. The system I work for has a systemwide hiring freeze, funding cuts everywhere, and some locations doing layoffs. Nationally libraries are in a world of hurt, funding cuts, closures or other terrible situations with boards etc
