We hit five (5) separate instances of this during one (1) workday and thus, in the spirit of Five Things Make a Post, it gets a post:

--circulation canceled a patron's scan request in a uniquely incorrect way that did not in fact cancel it, only sent it to another library under a different transaction ID number (this makes it harder to find and cancel properly)

--shipping service failed to notify substitute driver that our mail comes to the back door, several floors and a one-way street away from the front door, where he came instead

--someone transferred a parent calling about their student's tuition bill to me, an ILL staff

--patron requested not one not two but THREE wildly incorrect citations in a way that makes me suspect genAI

--German thing that is "Collected Works volume 26, part 2 [in 2 volumes]" of what was [presumably] originally "Section 4, volume 3, second part, first half." All of this is abbreviated, in blackletter, on the title pages. Probably the right volume. Who knows
