The glory of the technology of the library

During my English class there was an assignment that me and a group of my friends had to work on. It was a fun assignment, if I have to say so. The assignment did involve communication and multiple computers. Unfortunately for us, the classroom didn't have a lot of computers, so we had to go down to the dreaded library.

We enter and lay our eyes upon the face of a rat, but shockingly enough, it was a woman. The head Librarian of the Intermediate High School. She has a real snotty attitude and strict agenda. We hand her a pass from our teacher and take three computers that are lined against the wall.

This is a project that requires discussion, so we start conversing on our course of action for an 'A' or whatever good grade we can get. About a minute into talking and the rule-crazed librarian says, "SHHHH!!! No talking in the library!" We take a glance around and make the mention of the fact that there are only three people in the library, that being us, and she freaks out. She repeats herself and storms off.

After a second or two of chuckling to ourselves, we start talking again, and pull up the defense that we are doing a presentation that requires social activity, not mental com links. Fortunately, she gives us five minutes before she returns and demands silence.

The three of us get up and walk out, because, at that point, we've had it and couldn't do our work without talking to each other. We go to our teacher and explain the situation. The teacher says that it is cool and we can boot someone that is off of their computer to do our work.

Moral of the story? Don't take shit from the library teachers. Tell your teacher if you have a problem.

ahhh Mrs. Houston? i dont think anybody likes her. at all.

the one that looks like a bloody rat?



sorry, but thats what she looks like.

she's the one

What teacher's class was it for?
And yea,
The library staff aren't the most sensical/logical people in the school.

Master Wisor. His computers are lined up against the wall, his class was by far my favorite for the entire time I've been to McDowell.

That's excellent. I love how she does that. She also, always gives us a half hour lecture on how to use net trekker. Which no one ever uses.

Not to mention how hilarious her hatred of Google is.

Google is like Wiki; it's always right, no exceptions. Oddy most of my Google searches are just for spelling when i'm online, I rarely use it for any practical purposes. :S

My biggest complaint about our library is the fact that you need a pink pass to go down to it during activity period. One instance that sticks out in my mind is when me and a friend went down to the library to copy our reports for one of the dreaded Henninger projects. When we were there Ms. Houston RAN and closed the door and then yelled at use like we committed some kind of felony. I even explained to her that I needed to use the copier for the entire classes benefit and she bluntly said "GTFO." (Well not literally of course)

I too often use Google to check spelling.
Weird.
And yea,
Mrs. Huston takes her job way to seriously.
All in favor of calling her the library Nazi?
All opposed?

I would consider Nazi to be too radical for a librarian. I would go with something simple like just plain failure. Honestly she is a high school librarian who takes her "job" too SERIOUSLY. That defines failure. Being a librarian at a high school is probably the most laid-back thing ever; well it should be at least. I mean how can you be so serious about organising books that will only be checked out for the sole purpose of projects (meaning like once a year)? I can't remember the last time I went to the school library for my own leisure because well going to the library is so unconvenient. I like to read, but I would rather buy the book instead of renting it.

I too don't go to our library for pleasure reading often,
But I know several people who do.
But the point still is,
She is way too controling and serious about her job for a librarian.

I was thinking of using the library's computers to put together some MIDIs for a song I'm arranging until I read this thread. Now that's not an option. I'll have to try to get Hetrick to let me use his computer...

Lol,
Yea.
Music/noise/activity/people in the library=no no for Mrs. Huston.

Oh yey I love committing embezzlement also! Shortly after we can sell those computers on Ebay and be charged with extortion! I love going to jail!
