Did I seriously just have to lecture a co-worker about how it’s not actually our students’ job to tune out rude people so maybe just because we’re capable of ignoring a bunch of obnoxious conversation doesn’t it’s not our job to deal with it

Tagged: why is this concept so fucking difficult to pound into people's heads whyand here in a nutshell is why i end up being the face of discipline in the librarywhere my co-workers get thought of as the warm fuzzy helpful librariansfuck my lifei have a job

I got really overwhelmed earlier and was joking about how overwhelmed I was with a co-worker and she joked that I needed a sticker to cheer me up and that was the tipping point and I just flung myself dramatically to the floor and started yelling “NOPE NOPE NOPE”

I mean I wrote up a semi-formal introduction to Tumblr and Tumblr culture for co-workers* since I’m basically going to be starting a Tumblog for work (no I will not be sharing the URL here, even though I love you all) and I had to explain that people reblog things from other people and even NPR and the New York Public Library and Barack Obama reblog things and sometimes the people they reblog things from have names like chronicdickorgy69 and that even these staid, respectable organizations do not bleep out those usernames they just let that shit fly

but then I felt like I had to bleep out similar usernames in the screencaps I used as illustrations

being a professional is complicated

*Don’t worry they won’t be infiltrating the Tumblrs, I can guarantee you that because I am the one who wrote and submitted it that they didn’t read it and do not give a shit
