You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their lives, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when???" And then you wonder how you

Inorite? :D It does tend to kill the conversation though - no-one ever seems to want to talk about it!

i would love to talk about it! what do you like the most about being a librarian, bb? do you plan to be a librarian forever? would your ideal library be small/big/the ideal one you'll build yourself? :D/something else?

I am lol most easily pleased and just like helping the users. To me, it's really obvious how to search for a book or a journal article but I show them how to do it and they're all o__o. I like working in a small library because it means you get a lot more variety - often in a large one you'll just end up doing one thing all the time (of course my library service as a whole is massive, but I live in a tiny corner of it). I sometimes think of going off to work in a public library as a children's/young peoples' librarian, but obviously there aren't really any new jobs around at the moment and I have a tendency to be slightly complacent anyway. But yes, I probably will be a librarian forever, unless something really shiny and enticing comes along!
