NLB fines.

I received 2 phonecalls in 5 minutes on Tuesday. Interesting thing was, both callers called asking if I borrowed any books with their cards. Seems NLB is trying to claim back library fines owing to them from eons ago. Saw the article in ST yesterday.

My question is, if I did have a late fine, why didn't the card owner receive a notice. Both claimed they didn't receive any. And the best part was, the fines dated all the way to 2004. Even if I did borrow these books, how the heck was I supposed to remember?

Thing is, if I really did owe the fine, upon receipt of the late notice, the card owner would have informed me and I'd have returned the books and paid the fine then, NOT 3 years later!!

If memory serves me well, the article also mentioned that NLB actually wrote off all these fines in 2006. So why the hell are they on our backs, trying to get these fines paid?

In any case, its been the usual tiring work week. But something to be thankful for: I've got a part timer in to help on certain days and now, a part time teacher to take classes for some days. Yay!! That'll definately ease my load a little..

And.... I just received an email from my tutor who gave my whole TG an extension on the upcoming assignment!! So instead of submitting tomorrow, I have till Monday to finish it...:)

niceguy was sharing anecdotes of work and it struck me how realistic and dogmatic the corporate world can be... People do anything to climb up the corporate ladder.. It's scary to even imagine how devious people can be.. Unfortunately, I can't elaborate on what he told me as its kinda P & C... :P

Oh well, back to my readings... They are starting to make some sense:)
