New work schedule
I just got my work schedule for winter term, and I'm quite disappointed. The most disappointing thing is that I'm only working one shift in my favorite library, and all the others are in the library that I bore myself to death working in. Five days a week of sitting behind a desk checking out darkroom keys and refreshing my LJ friends page with the agonizingly slow internet connection. And then, I was really looking forward to being able to eat lunch at a reasonable time (after noon), as my schedule last term meant that three days a week I had to eat before noon, all by myself because none of my friends were insane enough to eat so early. Now, thanks to the way my supervisor helpfully scheduled all my work hours around my class times, I have to eat lunch early five days a week. *headdesk*
Must think on the bright side! At least I still get to sleep in. There is that. No more waking up at 7am to trudge over and open the library. Though after I managed to peel open my eyes, I actually enjoyed working that hour. I got to work with someone else, who was good company, and in my favorite library too. Bah.
More bright side seems to be necessary. I am working in a library. I am working in a library. Sure, it's not my favorite one, but it still beats the hell out of food service or janitorial. LIBRARY. The boring-ass science library is still better than almost any other job on campus. Really. It is.
Okay, I think I've come to terms with my work schedule. Sort of. I'll still bitch about it, but only because I like bitching. I realize that I am one of the privileged few who get to work at the libraries and will continue to be jealous of myself.
