here i come.
now, i've endured this far. i've dealt with learning how to do backup files in 20 minutes, i've endured the entire tech department dismantling my desk, hauling off my old crappy computer and replacing it with one i have no clue how to work...i've endured being locked out of my computer because it'll no longer accept my password. i've put up with being the only staff member at work with only 2 workstudy students both working 10 to 10 with no access to patron username and passwords. i've made due with the entire server going down, got out the pen and paper to check books in and out, nevermind trying to find them in the stacks...i hoped i had saved what i needed on such short notice. i've honed my wrist skills playing space cadet pinball, when i couldn't do anything else...i've laughed at the fact that our new pc's have no soundcards...or that i can't use my wolf screensaver. i bring my walkman, i've wallpapered wolves on my desktop....but...and there's always a big assed Butt...
i ain't building no @$#!&% database for titles i need to send to bindery 'cuz these sorry %$@&*% up idiots decided to only give us an hour to get our files backed-up...i've lost every title we own. it's sitting in that sorry assed computer that required i wait since Nov 2000 for parts that didn't work, where the screen swims little gray horizontal lines that make me go into epileptic seizures...
i need those files, i will have those @!#$%* files, because i will not enter how many thousands of titles on the program i had to install over again, the one i had to stay here until 5pm when i began work at 7am, so that the bindery person could drive it over here.

in the meantime, i will retreat to the bathroom, utter publically unspeakable words and return to the computer that i can only login using workstudy and proceed to play that &%$#@* space cadet pinball.
