Me: "Why does the stairwell smell like baby soap??" Coworker, calmly, smiling, without missing a beat: "Because we were washing the babies before the feast tomorrow. You're coming?" I love my coworkers. #LibraryLife #Halloween

Just saw this email, and it might be a way for someone to get into the profession without the graduate degree. If you're interested, ask and I'll send the detailed attachment. #librarylife

Patron: Did you get your hair cut? Me: Yes, I did! Patron, proudly: I could tell, see, because it's shorter. (Me, unspoken) Yep. Good job, Patron. That's exactly how you tell. #librarylife

Um, I’m not convinced the people behind this audiobook cover art knew what A Modest Propsal is about...

Patron with limited English proficiency in lab tonight referred to the "@" symbol as "capital two," and I think I want to call it that forever now. #LibraryLife #WhyILoveMyJob

Do you think any patrons would notice if I put two separate Chrome shortcuts on the lab desktops, grabbed an Internet Explorer icon from the web & made it an icon, then assigned the icon to one of the Chrome shortcuts? Sure, there's your blue E! #librarylife #librarianproblems

First thing this morning: Yay! A first library card for an excited child! One of my favorite things in the world! One minute later, not out loud: WHY did you name this sweet child "Aorta???" #librarylife #librarianproblems

You’re not a librarian if you do this. Don’t @ me. I promise I can be meaner than you.

Let’s cancel the idea that Serious, Realistic stories are the only kind of stories worth making. The soul is nourished by the magic of a Miyazaki film or a wonderful kid’s book. I want to gawk in wonder as I read or watch a thing; I want to ache with joy.

Something I should do more often: Choose my books the old-fashioned way. No reviews, no selection guides, no collection criteria, just book jackets and quick skims. Once upon a time, I learned to love reading, just that way. I still do. #librarylife #librarianproblems

Are so many library staff pro-public-transportation, pro-bicycle-friendly-streets, and pro-safe-pedestrian-walkways because those are often our own transportation options, because libraries can't pay enough? Musing. #librarylife #librarianproblems

Just saw this. It's a big hint to use O*Net to describe past work using the magic words required by software gatekeepers. Programs scan for key terms & filter applications so the real people don't need to read them all... But software can be gamed. #librarylife #librarianproblems
