For goodness knows what reason, there has been an unusually high number of what my boss calls altercations here in the library, so I am getting trained on what to do because I'm not very authoritative and look like a student and am not good with confrontations. Can't be like that. Got to strike--well, maybe not terror into the hearts of students, but definitely let them know we mean business. I've been given a script. Been told to use my "librarian voice." (I'm not sure what that is. Maybe my actual voice but a few octaves deeper and a lot firmer.)

Yikes. Daunting. What I'd like to know now is why all this is happening all of a sudden. Not really something I can ask my boss. But what on earth, student body.

#random personal stuff #apparently one guy recently was swearing so loudly he could be heard on two floors #who DOES that #who walks into a library and chooses noise and disruptiveness and belligerence #what kind of person disrespects library staff when asked to leave #what kind of dark road do you need to travel to reach a place like that #(disproportionately dramatic language for humorous effect but also: with all sincerity: Why)
