Sometimes I love my job, sometimes it makes me want to scream and hurt people...
I work in a Children's Library and until recently its mainly been a Saturday job. But since I'm grown up now and have been downgraded from a student bum to just a bum for the summer I've become a real person who works more than 6 hours a week...!!
Basically, I issue and return books, join people, all that usual library stuff. But most of the time I'm preparing crafts and activities, doing them with kids, yelling at kids, sorting out the computers and that kind of thing... the people I work with are awesome and most days its a really good laugh.
BUT the library's right next to a really rough, horrible estate so you get scum of the earth in a lot. I've had to phone the police lately... which isn't great. Its annoying when its the 10 year olds terrorising you, but quite scary when its the 16 and 17 year olds! But then you get the toddlers... who are absolutely gorgeous...!
Pity I'm leaving in 6 weeks... then I'll be working in a poor-ish school in Chile, trying to teach little hooligans English (Geordie!!). Can't wait!
