I had full intention of writing a blog last night but when it came down to it I decided I couldn't be bothered to type since I had been on my laptop for what felt like the whole freaking day. So I VIDEO blogged. Woo! Then I spent 25 minutes attempting to upload it onto my actual blog post because nothing was working. Ultimately, I went through the trouble of getting my YouTube account back up and put it on there...then linked my YouTube link to my blog. So many failures involved. It wasn't loud enough and I don't know how to work YouTube channels and it all just looked stupid. Why can't I just upload my damn video straight on my blog I DO NOT KNOW. I thought I was saving time by making a video last night and I ended up wasting 150% more time by trying to figure out a video on blogger.
The video was a straight up 3 minute rant about this girl I was checking out at the library. Checking her books out, not her bod. A little box on the library computer screen popped up saying "DO NOT LET HER CHECK BOOKS OUT SHE OWES $92 IN FINES". That's not verbatim but more or less it was the situation. I kindly relayed this message to her and said if you owe more than fifty bucks you can't check books out. She's all sassed up and sayin, "I'm pretty sure I've never checked books out at the library so I don't know how those fines have even aquired." WELL HUNNY THEY DID. I went back to get my supervisor and he told her that he can override the issue and she can still check books out she'll just have to pay the fine before she graduates. Because her account was on the screen I could tell she was a senior so I highly doubted she had never checked books out before anyways. Plus, I can see what the fines were for on the screen. She asked my supervisor so politely what the fines were for and he told her it was for some books and movies that she never returned freshman year. Of course, when my somewhat-attractive-for-an-older-man and chiseled and tan supervisor tells her she has fines she laughs and suddenly remembers. But when I, the very responsible yet young looking library assistant, tell her she has fines that she needs to pay to get her new books she thinks I'm full of shit and don't know what I'm talking about. Newsflash Gretchen Weiners wanna be, I DO.
As if I wasn't already annoyed enough, and clearly showing it with my 'If you talk anymore I'll need a pen to gouge my eyes out' look, she proceeded to tell us that she will simply have her dad write a check for the fine and bring it back next week. Your dad?! You're a senior in college! Ok, I understand that we are college students in a time of economic hardship. Most of us rely on our parents for some financial assistance. Some more than others. For example, I only rely on my parents for the small payments, like my apartment rent...and car insurance...and car repairs... ok and food (RARELY) if I end up putting too much in my cart that I can't afford. If I came to my parents to pay for a fine that I aquired on my own over not returning books or movies, they would tell me to figure it out on my own and sell my body if I must. Then my mom would laugh because she knows I wouldn't last a day in that field.
