On My Place of Work

rfmcdonaldWe're busy moving the fiction shelves back to their former location, after the fiction area has been recarpeted and has seen its walls repainted.
We've moved two, so far. By the time that we're completely done, we'll have to move 19 more shelves, and reshelve the entire collection. In some cases, multiple times.
There are some problems with the job. The library, since it's not part of the same administrative apparatus as the rest of the Confederation Centre, is (pardon the phrase) the red-haired stepchild of the place. The paint job has been somewhat slipshod, with some dirt included in the paint, while the painters have been occasionally destructive, breaking plants, wall fixtures, et cetera.
Tomorrow, I'll be working from 8:30 am to 9 pm. This will be fun, in a tiring kind of way.
Still, I need as many hours as I can get over the summer, and I think--with one other temporary/permanent worker scheduled to drop out owing to her pregnancy--I can get it. Travelling this August before grad school at Queen's is something I really really want to do.
