Make me laugh, clown.

Needless to say, you started my day with a chuckle. At least in a school library, we can always ask "Well, what's the assignment?" and when we get a blank look to that one, "Who's your teacher?" By then, we usually figure out that we've been helping kids with the same assignment all week and we know what they need even if they don't.

"Patron: I am looking for a globe of the earth. Ref: We have a table-top model over here. Patron: No, that's not good enough. Don't you have a life size? Ref (after a short pause): Yes, but it's in use right now! " *snorts* "Patron: Do you have a book with numbers in it? " Mental answer: Oh in a library?!! God forbid!! Thanks for the laugh!! Have a nice week!

I'm so jealous! I worked in a library while I was in college and have missed it ever since. (I have truly had the worst jobs in the world.) Libraries just draw the best wierdos. I've worked in tourism, retail, offices, elementary education, oh God, I've even handed out towels at the Y. (Really bad crap job), but the library was the best. At the time to make a go for the GRE I immaculately concieved my fourth child. I'll just have to be one of the wierdos challenging you guys. (P.S. The first three kids are bright reading loving intellectuals, no. 4 is learning disabled and hates to read (because he's learning disabled?). I do have to get his library books for him. He doesn't have the ability to get his own. I know it seems lame, but otherwise he'd never get homework done.
