Something You Should Learn in Kindergarten
I organized a documentary screening back in January at the university. A lady who works for the Faculty of Science helped a lot but was unable to make it to the event. Last month she borrowed the DVD and I haven't seen it since. We are donating the DVD to the public library and I said I'd drop it off weeks ago. I've been sending the lady who borrowed the DVD emails for weeks asking when I can pick it up from her with no reply. Finally today she admitted that she does not have the DVD anymore because she lent it to a friend. WHAT? THAT IS RIDICULOUS! You don't lend out something that isn't yours. I look like a jerk to the library because I'm waiting on someone I do not know to return the DVD.

I should have made a copy of it to lend out before, then we could have given the DVD to the library...
Donating it to the library lets a broader audience has access to the DVD without the hassle of us trying to get people to return it. As a university affiliated organization, we could get in a lot of trouble lending out an illegally copied DVD.
She had no right to give someone else the DVD. She knew about my correspondence with the library which is probably why it took her so long to get back to me. It is great that she liked it so much she wanted to share it but she knew I needed it back. She admitted in her email that she still hadn't even asked for it back yet.
Sorry, I'm so ranty.
