Taylor Swift was writing about you, Spoof

Here's an annoying one for you.

Today, Opie spent probably five minutes telling a patron about an event we're holding tomorrow. Let's call it Program X. After the patron left, Opie walked away. Spoof, having witnessed this interchange, thought perhaps Opie was being rational today.

All of you who've read this blog before know better

When Opie walked back up to the desk two minutes later, Spoof said "Opie, I noticed there is nothing on our website about Program X."

Opie said,"Oh, is that tomorrow?"

Spoof was calm and instead of screaming at Opie very calmly said, "Did you forget you just told that patron about Program X?"

Opie didn't even respond, just looked wounded and walked away.

Now we've been talking about Program X off and on for at least a month. It was specifically mentioned in our staff meeting earlier this week. Opie even offered to help with prep work on two separate occasions. Opie and Speck spent at least fifteen minutes talking about details of Program X just yesterday.

All of this is annoying, but kind of standard for Opie. What makes this story really bad is what happened next. As Opie walked away, Shoes came shuffling over.

"Don't you think that was kind of a mean thing to say to sweet, sweet Opie?" said Shoes.

"No, no I don't," snapped Spoof. And Spoof walked away as well, or the next things said would probably have been quite mean indeed.
