Adventures in the Cubicles

What a weekend! I had two late VSAs, one of which was already on thin ice regarding her timliness. I can't wait to tell the story to the higher ups. I can only imagine how their expressions will look as relate the incident calmly and professionally. I think I got all the swear words out yesterday and this morning I feel rather confident about the whole thing.

On the other hand, I kicked the shit out of the Dossin. My new docent changed all the burned out lightbulbs, fixed a few crumbling displays, found a leak; I cleaned off the leaky area, took garbage cans of junk out to the trash cans (which I didn't know how old this stuff was), cleaned up garbage that was outside. I think on Saturday I got upwards of 30 files cataloged. Sunday, I didn't do any and felt I was far more productive. It helped with my frustration. If I had the power to fire someone, yesterday morning would have been the perfect opportunity. But alas, the part-time manager just has to deal with and then report the bullshit. But my voice will be heard today. Loud and clear.

Against my better judgement, I took some files from the archives back to the main building. If they have to be cataloged by Dec 30, then this is the only way to do it, but at the same time, they are so careless and distracted down at the back door. And all the construction guys coming in and out, I'm worried. You'd almost think I was in charge of the archives the way I am acting. But all I can do is leave detailed instructions and then go over those directions at our meeting on Wednesday morning. And wish those files the best of luck.

I better get going. I have lots of work to do today.
