Miss Information is annoyed by the illogical

It is Christmas and Miss Information knows that with all the grimness and sadness of the past week everyone should make an effort to be kind and to hold off on the petty complaints. Well, fuck that. The library system recently introduced a fine that is charged to people who don't pick up their holds. This afternoon, Miss Information encountered a gentleman who had been charged one of these fines

Miss Information is haunted by library school

When Miss Information went back to school a lot of her librarian friends used to warn her that the experience would have long lasting consequences. "Tee, hee," they would say. "I still have nightmares that I haven't finished a cataloguing assignment. Heh, heh, heh!"

Truthfully, Miss Information has had a couple of library school related nightmares before but nothing quite as strange as this. 

Miss Information is annoyed by the physically inactive

...which she has mentioned before. The library is big with lots of stuff spread out over several floors. It's complicated but when Miss Information suggests that the reference material you are looking for is on one of the other floors, she expects you to go there and get it.

Earlier in the day, one of Miss Information's co-workers complained about a patron who wanted the flyer about the

If you don't want help, don't bother Miss Information.

A woman needs help with eBooks because everyone needs help with eBooks. Miss Information has had an eReader for two years. She had it set up and downloading books in about 30 minutes--about 15 minutes longer than necessary because her library card had too many overdues and she had to renew some things. Clearly she is a technology star.  A couple of weeks ago a patron came in with a Blackberry

Miss Information tries, but fails to communicate

Miss Information is at the other desk. The one she doesn't visit very often. It's kind of fun because the regulars see someone new and try to get away with murder. Unfortunately Miss Information understands the meaning of simple English signs that say things like "one booking per day" "book only 7 days ahead" so the regulars efforts are wasted on her.

Besides room booking, the desk involves

Miss Information is sick of smiling

These past couple of years, Miss Information has carefully managed her career with one single goal in mind. She has dressed badly, neglected combing her hair for days on end, and has chosen a job that channels much of the human interaction through electronic devices. All this has been to avoid appearing in public. So on Friday, Miss Information was a bit annoyed to find herself the morning

Miss Information is annoyed on transit

It was Thursday night and it had been a tough one. Everyone who wasn't on vacation had called in sick and Miss Information was the guy in charge for the evening shift. It wasn't difficult. The few remaining staff members were great, the patrons were cooperative and the night ended with no fatalities.
As she entered the subway station she heard the familiar crackle of the PA. "Attention subway

Miss Information really can't help you with that.

Last evening Miss Information was at the Information Desk minding her own business when a young woman asked a question. It was going to be a stupid question the woman explained. Oh, good. Miss Information expects a question about books or library services or the subway or something.

Nope. The woman wanted to know about her hair--her own hair that is. Does the colour make her look old? Uh. What?

Miss Information is neither here nor there

Miss Information is at work today which is a miracle because yesterday was awful. Nothing worked. It probably would have been easier to cope if she'd realized it was National Vodka Day but she didn't find out until much later.



At one point she was on the desk trying to figure out why she couldn't make a booklist appear on the website just like she does every month when a patron appeared with

Miss Information is annoyed by not being on vacation

Miss Information was on vacation for a few weeks and it was nice, dammit. She came back to work last Thursday because she had some committee meetings to go to. (Note to all: Don't cut your vacations short to attend meetings.  This is just a bad idea.) Of course, Thursday morning she woke up with a sore throat and by the second meeting it had developed into the Bubonic plague, or West Nile, or

Miss Information has never been good with numbers herself.

When Miss Information was on the desk this morning she got a call from a woman who couldn't access her library account information online. She'd never had a problem before and she does this all the time. The library website has been playing tricks lately, logging customers in but acting like it hasn't so Miss Information assumes that this is the problem. She asks for the customer's card number,

It's summer. Shouldn't people be outside?

But they're in the library instead.  Miss Information doesn't understand it because the library seems to be annoying most of them.  At about 11 am a woman came to the information desk.  The woman was not happy.





"I was here when you first opened this morning and then I went to aquafit," she began.




Miss Information is happy the woman is sharing these details of her life.  It makes her

Miss Information has PMS

So, one of the key symptoms is that Miss Information becomes super helpful and nice to the clients.  It's true, several of them have commented that she's been, god help us, friendly.  It's an act.  Miss Information is using all of her considerable superpowers to keep from lunging across the desk and beating the taxpayers senseless with a tape dispenser.  When she's not helping the public,

Miss Information is annoyed that people don't listen to her.

a hold for a customer.  She wants a copy of Anna Karenina in Russian.  There's a copy that can be transferred from another branch.  Miss Information
