Havin' a whinge....


I've been slack about doing the 2.1 stuff... well, not so much slack, just exhausted!!!! We're so busy at work - overworked, understaffed and underpaid - but I guess that's the same for most workers out there!!!! Unfortunately we're losing two more staff members... something to really look forward to!!!!

If you work in a library I'll bet you've had 'meltdown' moments when you just wanted to say...


I also found this cartoon and uploaded it because it made me laugh...

Photobucket

It's from the Super Librarian Comic Book, part of a youth services programme 'devised' by the New Jersey State Library.

(I think it's like this for ALL library workers though, not just librarians!!!! - it is in 'my' library!!!)



I've also got a building site right next door to me... it's driving me crazy... the noise, the lack of privacy, the wall of the monstrosity is now part of the side fence - but it hasn't been finished yet so consequently my garden has been pretty much destroyed down the sideway...





This is my poor lime tree stump - I saw the developer today - you know the type - shifty, sleazy, full of shit - he told me he was hoping it would "come back" so he wouldn't have to replace it!!!! It was 5' tall before it got destroyed!!!! Then there's my poor sick lemon tree - it had part of a fence leaning against it for a few months... and the other photo is right outside my kitchen window (taken at dusk so it's a bit hard to see it properly) - I just live in a little cottage in a narrow one-way street so it's really, really close, which makes it really, really noisy!!! and it's now also quite dark with 30' concrete slab walls blocking most of the light!!!!


So, after all that 'ranting and raving' - consequently I haven't gotten around to doing anymore in the Learning 2.1 (unofficial) programme for a while... I hope to remedy that soon...
