My Snippiness at Archivists is Over Whelming

No, but, really.

I can't stand dithering or flustering and She-Vernon is both dithery and flusters almost constantly. And doesn't listen to a word that is said to her. And takes twenty years to do ANYTHING. And probably lives with her three cats and talks of nothing else to her equally awful colleagues. Harrumph gr-grump and other snippy noises.

I can't imagine what a person's life must be like in order to lead them to be so obsessively pedantic about - well, just about every aspect of their job. In the limited experience that I have had in the public archives, I have found that archivists are mind numbingly awful and often have a physical anomaly about them. For example, a darkly downy upper Lady-lip, or a distractingly wandering eye. Or food around their mouths. Or a strong resemblance to a teletubby. Unfortunate appearances aside, the biggest issue is of course the depths of their pedantry. Hideous. Nasty. Horrid.
