Sry this is your Monday! I hope the day gets better for you.</p> <p>I'm just annoyed that I'm even at work. During this whole 1st trimester, I'm literally tempted to call in sick every single day but I never do! I hate to waste a sick day knowing I'd prob not feel much better at home anyway. But today I'm def back to "Hmm, maybe I should bolt outta here at lunch time..." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ughmonday-rant-thread#post-1643876 Mon, 19 May 2014 07:54:29 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1643876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I would be annoyed that a high school library was inaccessible, but not an elementary library. Unless things have changed, we only used the library for fun as kids but for research once we reached high school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ughmonday-rant-thread#post-1643853 Mon, 19 May 2014 07:45:41 +0000 looch 1643853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am in the minority that I wouldn't mind if the library were inaccessible to my child for a week, BUT, I do not agree with the way in which the art teacher approached the set up of the art show. That is not appropriate, at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ughmonday-rant-thread#post-1643848 Mon, 19 May 2014 07:44:06 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1643848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh, way to teach the students respect?! I'm all for art but man, I would be angry. How would he feel if you went into his art room and took down all his displays, so you can have a makeshift library?</p> <p>Actually, you should do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ughmonday-rant-thread#post-1643840 Mon, 19 May 2014 07:38:50 +0000 nana87 1643840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sucks, I would be so pissed if I were you!! I have the best memories of my elementary school library and the librarian was amaaaaazing. I would have been so sad if it had been closed for even a short period!</p> <p>I'm a little annoyed w dh today. His parents were visiting this weekend and he sometimes reverts into angsty-teenage-boy mode when they're around rather than his normal helpful husband and father mode. Like, acting annoyed that I asked him to hold the baby for a few mins while he was watching baseball, grrr....and then I go to sleep when baby does at night since I do all the motn wake ups, and when he came to bed an hr later he woke me up and was all chatty and cuddly. BAby only slept in 1-2 hr stretches last night so he interrupted one of the longest ones ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ughmonday-rant-thread#post-1643839 Mon, 19 May 2014 07:37:12 +0000 mfa_lady 1643839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds SO frustrating! I'm sorry you had to deal with that this morning. I don't have school-age kids...but I'm an English major and a Creative Writing MFA and I totally don't think it's cool for kids not to have access to the library for a week. Book lovers unite!!!</p> <p>For the record, I'm all for art, to--but it seems a little absurd to shut down the whole operation for the show!</p> <p>Hope your day gets better, lady! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ughmonday-rant-thread#post-1643829 Mon, 19 May 2014 07:28:39 +0000 Anagram 1643829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything you want to rant about this monday morning?</p> <p>I feel like very few things really get me frazzled, but this morning I show up to work (school librarian) and remember that today is the day the "student art show" is in my library.</p> <p>This art show is...nice, I guess, but also a giant pain in my butt because it takes up the entire library for a whole week and the art teacher doesn't like kids to come in and get books during the entire week while the art is displayed.</p> <p>However, in the past, I've kept some of the most popular books displayed in the front and I've let kids come in and get those at least. It doesn't sit well with me to close a library for an entire week in a school and not let kids check out books. Unfortunately, this tradition has been around way longer than I have worked here.</p> <p>Anyway, so I get to work, and the art teacher comes in and starts taking down my library signage, taking down all my book displays, and making big piles of books in the corners. When I asked what he's doing, he's like, "Oh, I didn't tell you? We expanded the art show, We're using all the space this year and these book displays have to go".</p> <p>UGH. I'm enraged, kind of. Like..WTF. my library signs can't stay IN THE LIBRARY? And it's too late for me to argue my cause, he's already taken them all down.</p> <p>Okay, I feel better even just typing it out. Anyway, parents of school age kids, do you think it's cool for the library books to be unaccessible for an entire week? </p>
