Frustration

I don't know what I expected, but I left today's reference meeting feeling frustrated. I guess the whole issue of moving the printer without consulting anyone else on staff has me more bothered than I thought. Even if there were problems, why make such a rash decision? Think it through. Anyhow I don't feel any satisfaction from having 3/4 of the staff in agreement when it doesn't change anything. And no apology, or good explanation was given. It just hurts morale a little bit. Now we just "wait for the new software". Which, in my experience, is a 50/50 chance of being worse, and a 100% chance of being way later than I wanted it. And again the clerks get off easy because of the way the idiots designed the building without enough data ports. Duh. Would it have hurt to consult the people who are experienced in using a library? That's an old frustration to dig up, but I've got the shovel out ;) and that issue comes up so often its ridiculous. Anyway, I hope it doesn't take all the joy out of working at the library, cause there are too many good points to let the petty political stuff get in the way. At least I've got allies...And someone to rant to!

Thanks for pointing me to the rational. Of course, logically I know it was not malicious or anything. I guess I'm just doing more feeling than thinking these days.
