Friday, September 17, 2004 the librarian at the reid library is such a poo. today i went to get my library card reactivated (it was deactivated 'coz of overdue fine at curtin *lol* my bad!) and she went about it ok. then she goes "by the way love, you have 20 points left 'til you run out of demerit point" in this obscenely loud voice. OKAY OKAY so i'm tardy with library books, the whole freakin' library doesn't have to hear about it. then she proceeds to talk to me like a retarded baby animal, "it's just like your driver's license, dear .. etc etc" i *said* okay, geez louise woman what else do u want from me ??!! and her patronizing-ness !! grar!!WARGH !!! and then she goes on to say that "if this keeps up you can get punished for obstructing other people's education" she THEN goes on to imply that i may have incurred so many demerits 'coz i took out reserve books when i shouldn't have. PUNISHED !! like what? get put in the naughty corner ?? hello ?? lady?? why the hell would i "obstruct other people's education?" i mean i procrastinate on essays..big whoop. nobody requested those books. who the hell wants to read up on the bloody brutalists anyway ?! that's why i managed to get those books. if someone requested books i'd return them (most times =p) so anyway, i left muttering about "bloody librarians should realize they're on the bottom-feeding end of the food-chain and only have authority within the 4-walls of their daggy building" .. that probably didn't sit too well with smelly book lady. heh. slightly ashamed but she was so damn RUDE !!
i swear it's 'coz my skin is yellow, that's why she's like "he-wwow wit-tle a-sian girl... do ...you... un-der-stand... how ...li-bra-ries... work ...??" ordinarily i bet she's just obnoxious and rude, instead of being patronizing, obnoxious and rude.
