to be glad social workers are getting bashed this werk.

[StillIRiselikeAZombie]

at least its not midwives or nurses turns.

What should it be next week? I think librarians.

Bastard librarians. All those book rules and shushing.

[GhostofMammaTJ]

I know, and they will only read to the children, not adults!! What is that all about? Bastard librarians.

[ScaryBeardyDeadyman]

I hate the way they always look at you over their glasses, like they're better than you because they don't own a kindle.

[crazynanna]

so powerful with their stampy thing. All that authority. Twats.

[PseudoBadger]

And the fines! So small, they're the paper cut of fines.

[cory]

Can we do dentists the week after?

[Yama]

I got told off in the library the other week for shushing my own children.

[bringbacksideburns]

I don't wear glasses. [hshock]

But i'm going to put my hair in a bun and wear a tweed suit and pretend it's 1958 because i want to be stern.

[Catsnotrats]

One was once a bit shirty with me because I hadn't filled in a particular form when I joined, therefore they are all a bunch of miserable jobs worth witches.

[GhostofMammaTJ]

the way they let some middle aged bloke obviously a paedo use the only computer free in the childrens area instead of making him use one of the many free ones in the adult area. If I go to use the computer with my DC this is most inconvenient. BASTARDS!!

[StillIRiselikeAZombie]

Agism. Thats what it is. I'd love someone reading to me.

A nice lie down on a beanbag with a blanky and someone reading something nice and soothing.

I might suggest it.

[VivaLeBeaver]

Our library has sacked the librarians and replaced them with a machine. No staff at all. I miss the librarians.

[RustyScare]

Not a lot of point bashing librarians - there aren't many left....

[StillIRiselikeAZombie]

Bastard robot librarians.

same here viva.

[Petsinmyputridpudenda]

But Viva who guards the books and tells people to sshh?

[VivaLeBeaver]

Nobody. It's only been librarian less a week, be interesting to see how many books are left by Christmas.

[PseudoBadger]

No staff at all? Doesn't sound very safe for the customers

[crashdoll]

What makes me laugh is that some people assume all social workers do is steal babies. Child protection aka baby stealing is only one small department.

[VivaLeBeaver]

Well, it's inside a bar. But in a separate room from the bar. You have to walk through the bar to get to the library. The toilets for the bar are in the library room.

The bar staff can't see into the library from the bar and certainly aren't there to deal with book queries.

I'm a bit unhappy about the location of the library. I didn't think that kids are allowed into a bar unaccompanied but apparently that's ok according to the council as they're only passing through. . I'm also concerned about the drunken idiots snorting cocaine in the toilets of the library but there you go.

[PumpkInDublic]

Jeez a Library in a bar Viva. Pray tell, where does this heaven exist? Wow, a bottle of red, peace and quiet and some good books. I am feeling wistful at the idea.

Agreed it's not so good for the kids though.

[BeyondLimitsOfTheLivingDead]

Sounds great for the kids, they can go and read while mummy drinks her wine and daddy is on the gambling machines

[MrsHavisham]

YABU. We librarians get a rough time in the press. When a book goes missing, we're the first to get blamed, but if we take preventative measures to protect the books, we get crucified in the Daily Mail. We just can't win.

[VivaLeBeaver]

Pumpkin, it's not a naice bar. Think working mans club/social club/Phoenix nights. Full of saddos drinking super strength cheap lager from lunchtime onwards.

[VivaLeBeaver]

And I'm serious about the cocaine. They've had to carpet the cisterns in the toilets to prevent people snorting cocaine off them.
