I am a librarian of ill-repute for about 10 years or so.
Prior to that I was hanging around libraries, memorizing the names of the librarians and generally being a busy body and know-it-all at my local library, which at the time was 5 miles away from home.
Eventually,after High School, they kind of got the hint, and employed me. (Well the only other option was to be a gangster, and I was disqualified because I didn't talk like dis. And I read these and liked this quite a lot. Especially these kinds. This, would have gotten me beat up, and probably arrested because nothing scares the cops, parents and teachers than a bunch of these.)
Which meant that I shelved for 2 years straight till my fingers bled.
Eventually I was allowed to look at a computer and the rest was History, as people are wont to say when they can't think of anything better.
So 10 years of being an edgy, frontier librarian (I will explain that term, when and if someone asks. But only if you ask), that could issue and return a book in under a minute, and get someone registered, by the time you finish saying " You have fines, on 5 books, and if your don't pay it now you won't be able to take out any books. But have you seen our latest Best Sellers?",
I blog too,( sometimes accidentally never on purpose because that way lies timeliness and scheduling.)
Mostly because no one will listen to me. Which is sad and really depressing if I wasn't such an awesome librarian.
Yes, Awesome!
Anyway. That's me. Haven't annoyed any superiors this year, or inflamed any passions. But I get the job done.
And in case, I didn't mention it before:

It's just my opinion.... Honest.
