Leaving the library

In this dream, I was working at a library and the work environment was as toxic as when I used to work at grocery store. My boyfriend came to visit me at work and I was talking to him while I was putting books away back onto their designated shelves. I had taken this job to feel busy and make a little money - though it did not pay well. Then it occurred to me that I really didn't want to work here anymore and I thought about how I was planning on giving a two weeks notice for when I decided to leave but I really didn't feel like doing that either. I thought, well I don't really need the money and I'm not respected here and this place basically sucks so I'm going to do the shifty dick move thing and just leave and come back for my check later. So I told my bf, Hold up I'm going to be leaving in a few. So he was confused and said "but I thought your shift didn't end until a few hours; didn't you just get here?" I didn't answer his question verbally but I have him the trust-me-I-got-this face and started to walk towards the front where we punch in and out. The shift manager at the front desk probably only saw me at a glance but she was preoccupied with other things. I thought to myself, I wonder if it will stamp some kind of error like the word early in all caps since my shift isn't done. So I punched out on my card and all it said was the time 10:30 exactly. I thought to myself, Oh hey I guess I've been here for an hour. Then I walked to the bathroom with a bag of clothes that I had to change into. I don't remember how this happened but my work clothes were drenched in water. When I was looking for a stall to go into, I saw that the bathroom was so disgusting looking and the stalls were tiny and I was surprised that I never realized it before. I figured that since I had worked there long enough to kind of ignore how awful of a place it was. Then one of my coworkers walked in and she had nice red hair. She said, "I know right, isn't it nasty in here?" I nodded in agreement and then she pointed out some stalls that weren't as bad but they didn't have doors to them. We both went into the stalls leaving one empty stall between us. She started washing her hands with a faucet that was somehow over the toilet. I tried not to be disgusted and think too much about how our why there was a mini sink over the toilet. Then I went into my stall and put a toilet seat cover on and sat down on the toilet to pee. I finally work up the nerve to do the thing despite my cringing. That's when the dream ended. I didn't even get the chance to change. I was just sitting on the toilet wearing a drenched shirt with my pants almost completely soaked too.
