I'm back in the ghetto, where I live and work. This is my take on working as a librarian.

The Good News, The Bad News, and everything else
The Good News:
THEY'VE FINALLY HIRED A NEW MANAGER FOR THE SECOND BRANCH THAT I'VE BEEN MANAGING
FOR THE PAST EIGHT MONTHS!!
The Bad News:
I HAVE TO TRAIN THIS NEW MANAGER :(
Everything else:
Last week, one of the employees that I manage told me that she likes how my hair
looks when I wear it flat ironed. She added that it looks more professional
that way.
This week, I broke it down to her. I explained that what she said to me and
the way in which she said it would have caused another person to curse her out.
Because I knew that her statements came out of ignorance, I took the time to
explain why what she said was offensive.
Back story:
My hair has been relaxer free for about 7 or 8 years. I wear it in it's
natural state 98% of the time(Kinky/Curly.) The other 2% of the time, it is
blow dryed and flat ironed because I have gone to the salon to have it colored
and trimmed.
The employee appologized and said that she didn't realize what she said was offensive. I told her that she now knows, so hopefully she won't make the same
mistake again.

Yay! Boo! and you got her told real good! LOL!
I was so happy to hear that they had finally selected someone for the position, until I learned that I needed to train her.
Luck was on my side, because I was sent to another branch. Bad for her, because she was left to teach herself.
