What goes around, comes around........

I'd be smirking too kitty
I'm sure the "peoples" library will be a great success.

Karma is very good Kitty and oh so satisfying

kitty You can't beat a bit of karma!

I do love a bit of karma Kitty 'Smug' away to your heart's content! (Though I feel sorry for those who use the charity if it's going to take a while to find replacements)

I believe that what goes around comes around too kitty and it does feel good when the perpetrator gets their come uppance

Was your library formerly staffed by a paid team or is it one a group has set up? If the former I might feel sorry for the redundant staff whilst still being pleased that people can still access books!

We run a local village library once a month - basically we are volunteer librarians and the professionals, who previously ran the library van, have lost their jobs. But it was do this, or completely lose the library service in the locality. It really is not right, but, as penstemmon says at least people have access to books.

I'm all for a bit of Karma

I'm feeling chuffed along with you, kitty.
Yah boo sucks to the bully--- and sticky out tongue too.

Luckygirl it is a real Hobson's Choice in that situation!

That's the situation in our village Penstemmon but the library assistants have, thankfully, been redeployed elsewhere. It was very delicate for a while but we are going well now.

I think the job I was previously doing is not done at all now, which is a shame for the people who needed help but divine retribution for the people who purported to provide the service. I loved that job and my point it that their attitude probalby helped make them redundant. And other people affected by the absence of me and the other volunteers say they really miss our input!

Yay! Nothing like a bit of karma. Way to go.

You give me hope Kitty that a particularly bad situation I am in which I have no way of controlling and cannot ignore will eventually come back and bite the perpetrator who did something last week which makes me think they are very sick. My ideal would be that they are offered help and accept it.

I firmly believe in Karma, sometimes it takes a long time! Good for you, Kitty!

Nonnie, I am sorry you are having a bad time and hope you get things sorted out soon.

You are, however, a much nicer person than I as I am soooo chuffed about the karma that has been visited on my former managers. I still keep grinning about it!

Brilliant Kitty! We need a smug emoticon!

In my experience all you have to do is sit back and wait. Sometimes it's a long wait but always happens.

VERY satisfying.

I have only just read this and I have been waiting for SO long for one particular friend just to have one tiny episode of karma to happen to her. She has the most perfect family, everyone of them, and we get told on every possible occasion, and our DC and GC unfavourably compared. Of course we don't want the families to have any sort of mishap, that would be awful, but just a little blip please

kitty, I'm delighted for you. And it looks as though there are quite a few of us waiting patiently for a bit of karma to redress past ills.

How did they sack a volunteer?

Has the charity suffered from losing the contract? (I didn't know charities got contracts)

Maggie less of the 'patiently' in my case!

Kitty - interested to hear about your library - our small local library, built in 1960s to last 10 years, was recently demolished and is much missed. We haven't quite been told it won't be rebuilt but some supporters are losing heart. Should a group of volunteers agree to run it there are obvious legal and financial implications. How has your group managed these? Thanks!

Me too, Nonnie. A bit of John Lennon's Instant Karma would be nice!
