patgundOne of my problem children came in today demanding to borrow the 8mm video camera and a tripod. This camera usually doesn't leave the lab because it has to share a power supply with a DV camera, (the other power supply was lost before I started here.) So, after explaining to her several times that she is *NOT* to lose that power supply, I bundle up the camera, tapes, and a tripod.
However, she *can't* bring that tripod, it's way too heavy, and why can't she borrow one of the light weight ones? I then explained to her that she couldn't borrow the light weight ones because she *lost* one and the other was broken and had to be thrown out. Still, the tripod I was willing to give her was too heavy, and she started to whine like a spoiled brat. Found a still camera tripod that's really only good for tabletop use, but she insisted that's perfect for her. Fine, dandy, whatever, take the bloody camera.
We won't even go into how badly people can screw things up in 24 hours.
