Be forewarned, there will be a mandatory page meeting soon so I can gripe at you in person. It will probably be next Saturday if no one has that day off already. I'll put more information about that up when I figure out when it is. Now on to the gripe!
If you put a cart together shelve it. Period. Do Not leave carts all over the place made up. If you don't have time to shelve a cart that you've made up then don't make the cart up, go shelf read or do something else. The only carts that I want to see that are already made up are fiction carts because there is no place else for them to go. Why you ask? Well because the carts on the second floor sit there for days and during that time nice patrons go along and decide to rearrange the books for us, or add or take books away making it almost useless to put them there in the first place. Then we have to go behind and put them in order again. Clean up carts are exceptions. It's OK if the sorting room has books in it. That's what it's for, to hold the books until you can get them shelved.
While I'm in a griping mood.... I also want to remind you that I expect each and every one of you to do your assigned tasks. I don't care if you don't like the first floor/second floor/children's shift, if you're assigned something on the first/second floor/children's shift, do it. That does not mean conning someone else into doing it for you.
