i had to stay working for extra 40 minutes today because TA didn't show up as my replacement @ 6pm. he didn't even call. when it hits 6:20, i talked to Wendy, the manager at NE branch, and she called my supervisor... other than looking for someone to take over TA's shift, my supervisor told Wendy that it's my last week at the lib. Wendy came up to me, looked all sad...
I kinda knew that would be her reaction... she always think i am of her most favorite part-time reference ppl. sometimes she makes me feel like i am just a cute little girl (maybe that's how she sees me?). she teases me for working too hard all the time, always told me she missed me when i am not working in NE and that i should visit more often... i don't know why she likes me this much, i always think it might be because i speak chinese and can help a lot more w/ the chinese speaking population at that location, and that i am very good with computers... all the reasons i think about are related to work... well, i still don't know why... haha
she gave me a big hug, said how much she'll miss me, and told me if i come back and an opportunity opens up, she'll for sure give me a big recommendation... it was a bit weird... it's like the first time I ever heard something like this.
sometimes I think i'll miss working in the lib... not just the job itself, but more the people i work with (many, though not all)... wait, now i think i can see how ppl think i am just a cute little girl--if they are in their 50s or 60s and i am in my 20s, and it also seems like i am so innocent that i really don't know anything of the REAL WORLD... hmm...
it has been a good 13 months working in the lib. i really like the job, though sometimes it can get bored, and other times challenged, stressed.
