Some people can be so rigid. I am angry right now because I have to be the only (library) employee at the library at this satellite campus. Thankfully this is only once a week.
The problem with this is lunch. I know we can ask people to leave and take our lunch but I have a hard time doing that. I try to wait until there are no patrons but there is usually always 1 or 2. A few times, I have asked them to leave and come back in 1/2 an hour, so I can have lunch. I have never taken a full hour.
What is enraging me right at the moment. I was fussed at, by the librarian, who is based on another campus and does Fridays here, previously for not taking my lunch. Well, today I didn't anticipate any trouble finding a vacant time to get in 1/2 hour. No such luck. I was about to see about 1 patron and maybe ask them to leave for lunch when the tutor came in with a student to use a study room. Well, now it is 3pm. I didn't feel I could kick the tutor out.
The aforementioned fellow librarian calls me to check up. She asks me if I had my lunch. I told her about the tutor and said I was thinking, leave at 4 rather than 4:30. She was somewhat upset by the suggestion. "Our hours are 8 to 4:30!"
This makes absolutely no sense to me. If I had a blank time or told the tutor to come back in 1/2 hour, I would have closed the place for 1/2 hour, anyway. I don't see the difference. Doesn't matter at this point. I just can't wait to get out of here.
