Librarian Stress
Feb. 22nd, 2006 05:54 pmI found this article amusing. Others on one of my listservs were kind of insulted and one snootily pointed out that they MUST be classifying EVERYONE who works in libraries (rather than just degree-holding librarians) to get their percentages. Personally what I find stressful are the pills who insist that their late fines are conspiracies (cos, yeah, I'll totally check a book out to you and then make it overdue without you knowing it so you'll cought up $3...boy do you overestimate my free time), people who don't understand that they can't eat their takeout with open cups right NEXT to computers, and other walking arguments for contraceptives.
Although something must be said for getting out of the stacks once in a while, as I am turning into the sort of person where if someone asks "can I have that typography book..I think the cover is red or green or maybe white"--and even though the cover is BEIGE I still TOTALLY know the book.
Me need get out more.
