They're baack! I swear, the tax people will drive me even nearer to insanity than I am usually.
The incessant roar of chatter is worse than the time the bug flew into my ear. So far today the following have taken place:
Wife of one of the workers greets a staff member with "you're late again today" even though she's here before the library opens.
Different wife of a different worker who acts as the "greeter" is sitting there yammering on her cell phone, talking louder than any of those waiting to get their taxes done.
Gentleman waiting his turn accosts a true, honest-to-goodness patron trying to get the morning newspaper with "those are for us" (or something similar; I really do try to block out the whole scenario), then 'jokes', "I'm just playing with you".
Woman who has waited less than an hour huffs off, saying she doesn't have time to wait. I refrain from saying, "it's a free service; go find a real accountant & pay him if your time is that valuable".
And that is only in the first hour; there are five more to endure...
This, too, shall pass. Just not fast enough.
