Re: [LM_NET] Target: Only staff in a library

When things pile up and you don't have help....don't worry about it!  It seems 
obvious, that no one else is!!

If others don't plan ahead and ask you to do something in advance and then want you 
to be there to do something at the last minute, share a favorite saying of mine---- 
I posted it on the circulation desk---it read:

"Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part."

You're a professional too.  If you allow them to treat you as a servant, you will 
always be one.  (That doesn't mean you are a snob; that you're better than everyone 
else....it just means that you, like the rest of the professionals on campus, have 
only 24 hours in your day too!)

Take it easy and don't beat yourself up for something that will always "need to be 
done."  

Good luck!
