Yet here I sit at Job #2, having gotten here only 20 min. late. But the other girl who was supposed to work w/me today, called and said she's going to be an hour late! And she lives right near the damn library. So I guess she's not going to take a lunch today! Normally I would let it slide and let her take a brief lunch anyway, but I recently heard that she's a tattletale, which I don't respect in the workplace. So just for that, I'm not about to let her get away with anything on my watch. And when I'm here, being the only professional Master-degreed librarian, I'm large and in charge!!! (However, I do like tattletales when it comes to kids and when I'm being a cop. Like I told the baby one time when my friend's little boy was being mean to her, "No one likes a tattletale, baby. Except me!") (and just fyi, that line was stolen from Caddyshack!)
I can be such a cool large-and-in-charge, too. I don't care how long your breaks are. If they run over 15-min. what difference does it make? It's not like we're on a heart surgery team, we work in a public library (plus I like to take long breaks too!). And I always let the other folks leave early at closing time, like 5-10 min. early while I stay behind to close up w/the circ. staff. No sense in making them hang around while we do it! Plus, I'm getting paid to be in charge, while I know they aren't getting paid as much as I am, so it's the least I can do to let them go when they're ready to go. So as cool as I can be, it's really not a good idea to get on my bad side by being an asshole or a tattletale.
