Because, who doesn't want their work environment coated in piss?
Hey there, new to this community, but I could have a backlog of posts.  However, here's today's....

I work in the Children's Dept. of a public library.  Today (actually 2nd day in a row that this happened) a little girl peed her pants.  Okay, accidents happen.  The adult with her, a woman who was not her mother (I heard her say the mother was upstairs in the Adult Section)  was additionally "responsible for" 3-4 other kids (if by responsible you mean, sitting at a table across the room yelling back and forth with them while they trashed the play area, with no regard to the teenager working on one of the computers or the child working with a tutor a few tables away from her).  This woman doesn't even tell us that the little girl peed her pants--she sends a few of the kids to do it.  And then proceeds to allow the little girl with urine-soaked pants to sit on various chairs, touch her pants and play with toys.  Does not take her to the bathroom at all to try to clean her up a bit (which must have been fun for the child).  'Cause in addition to all the other stuff that I need to do today--like a shitload of shelving--I got to spray down toys and chairs with bleach water.  Yay.  

Seriously, though.  What the hell.  I'm feeling better and better about this being my last month of work.  Seeing so many parents/caregivers/guardians neglect their children on a regular basis is really wearing my down.

As a side note, I don't know how many times I've seen parents just lay their 2 year old down on the floor in between the stacks and change that diaper.  Seriously.  It's not like there isn't a restroom with a changing table just out in the hall.  I don't understand how it is acceptable to do something involving human feces in a public (enclosed) enviroment where other people work.  Grrr. 

Thanks for the space to vent.
