"Anyway, I got library job training now."

Permalink

"Bye."

Permalink

And she shows up bright and happy at the library!

Permalink

Where she is met by a different librarian person! "Hello there, how can I help you?"

Permalink

"I'm supposed to be trained today."

Permalink

"Name?"

Permalink

"Sadde Baldwin."

Permalink

The person rummages behind the desk, produces her form, looks at the collar around Sadde's neck, scribbles something on the form. "Okay, we're mostly going to have you re-shelving, let's get you acquainted with the system..."

Permalink

She raises one eyebrow at the scribble. "May I ask what you just wrote on my form?"

Permalink

"Looked like you'd accidentally checked an extra box, it's no trouble, I fixed it. So, there's a Dewey decimal reference chart up on the wall here but it's simplified to help people find what they're looking for, you'll basically want to memorize it and then some..."

Permalink

"I didn't, I'm a switch, actually," she explains helpfully.

Permalink

"...Oh." Pause. "We don't have a box for that."

Permalink

"Yes, that's why I checked both," she says. "Anyway, you were saying about the Dewey decimal reference chart?"

Permalink

The librarian pauses to erase her scribble and scribble in something else and then goes on in further detail about the Dewey decimal system, gives Sadde a tour of the stacks, shows her how to use the copier and log in to an account on their computer system, and walks her through how to check out people's books and informs her very sternly that exactly what people check out is totally confidential "like medical information, say", and tells her how to answer the commonest questions delivered to the front desk by phone or walk-in.

Permalink

Sadde nods along and pays attention and asks questions, the most relevant of which being what her work schedule would be, when she'd have to come in, aaaand how much she'll be paid.

Permalink

They can work around her class schedule once she has classes! As it's coming up on finals period they would like her to be in rather a lot for the next few days. Starting today if she likes. She is not allowed to work more than six hours per day including a half hour for lunch and two fifteen-minute breaks but during finals period they're happy to have that much of her time. They pay slightly above state minimum wage per hour.

Permalink

Alright. Yeah she can start today, but she'd like to visit Student Health first if that's okay? Actually could she use their phone if so?

Permalink

That's fine, she can come back after lunch and work afternoon through dinner.

Permalink

Awesome! So she uses their phone to call Student Health, it's not technically an emergency but.

Permalink

"Selene Health Services."

Permalink

"Good morning. I was told there was someone on Saturdays that could, um, deal with recurring nightmares?"

Permalink

"Yes; would you like to make an appointment?"

Permalink

"Yes, either before lunch or late afternoon, if possible."

Permalink

"I have an eleven-thirty."

Permalink

"That's perfect!"
