First guy goes to the third floor to use the public fax machine. Instead of walking from the elevator to look for a librarian, he goes to the first closed door and opens it, asking for help. CWs are in that room answering phones, so a cw walks him to me. I show him the machine to fax and point out the procedures on the wall. Of course, he doesn't bother to read so I have to read the instructions to him, then while it's faxing I go away. It did annoy me when I asked him if it was local, he tells me in a "duh, yeah" voice, "of course".
that wasn't the stupid story, though.
Dominoes guy = dg
foundation lady = fl
= me
DG comes up to me because he signed up to use a computer. He doesn't see his number. I figure that he must have signed up, and since there are no available computer, he is on the waiting list, which appears on another tab. So I ask DG if he just signed up and he starts talking about his brother.
Now the library cards have numbers, that look like: xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.
When you sign up, you only see the last 4 digits of your card. So I ask DG what was the last 4 digits, and he tells me the last 3. I ask him again for the last 4 and again he gives me the last 3. I point out the last 4 digits on his card, then point to the last 4 digits on the screen for a "ready" computer. I show him on the screen what computer number he is at (#81) then I point out where the computer is. He goes to his brother and talks to them. Then some time latter I see him at a table in front of me. He finally comes up to me and ask me to spell "Domino". He spelled it, and I remember it began with "dia..." I spell it for him and tell him he only has 5 minutes to get to the computer before it rolls over. And I point out the computer to him.
Then fl shows up. She wanted to use one of the computers on the floor to use the foundation center, to look for grants. The catalog computers have that database you can use, but has no internet, and I rather get people on internet computers because sometimes people find they need the internet and bitch about how the computer does't have internet. I tell her to sign up on the internet waiting list, and of course she is walking around the terminal, not finding what I'm telling her to use. Finally I come up to her and explain why I wanted her to use the internet computer. Then I tell her there is a waiting list and she doesn't want to wait.
While I'm taking her to a catalog computer, DG comes up to me, tells me "I can't find computer 60." I explain that I showed him his computer was computer 81, that the "60" he saw was "60 minutes," the amount of time you get. "60 minutes" appear on the reservation computer under the heading "time on the computer".
FL says she needs help on getting to the foundation center. I tell her that I will show her but she needs to learn how to do it on her own. She says none of my cws told her she could do it on her own. I get her to a computer and she has no problem getting to the foundation center
I didn't have to tell her any instructions, she's clicking like she knows what she is doing.
Then DG comes up to me and says the computer is for someone else. I told him that I told him that he had 5 minutes to get to the computer before it rolled over to the next person.
I didn't make the fl sound stupid, but it's kind of hard to convey how stupid she acted and sounded.
that wasn't the stupid story, though.
