Monday morning blues

One of my favorite books is "Bartleby the Scrivener" by Melville. Anyway the gist of the story is that this company hires Bartleby as a clerk but he is totally insubordinate. Anything they tell him to do, he replies, "I'd prefer not to." They try firing him, but that doesn't even work.

Anyway, I kind of want to say, "I'd prefer not to" to the local school librarian who is moving the library. I volunteered most of the school year, but she is so incredibly lazy so I finally got fed up and quit. I don't mind helping someone who is trying, but lazy people tick me off. Now she offered to pay me to help on the move. I tried to tell her how to make the move go a little more smoothly, but she talked over me. She thinks money is an enticement to me, but the only reason I am going is to make the janitor's work easier. I'm going to do it the way I think it would be easiest. I don't care what she says, I don't need any money - I have more than I can spend as it is - the benefits of being easily satisfied.
