Single strangest question ever asked me at work
"Do you have Hamlet?"
I believe that alone is poignent enough, but let me transcribe the rest of the exchange:
ME (raised eyebrows I'm sure): Yes, we have LOTS of Hamlet.
HER: Yeah, well, I need the play.
ME (eyebrows approaching hairline): We have LOTS of those.
HER: Oh, like more than one copy?
ME: *nods*
On another librarian rant note: When I tell someone the date a book will be due, they do not have to tell me "Yeah, but the paper's due Monday." I don't care. I am not saying you have to return it only 28 days later. It's like when I tell people checking out Reserves that it'll be due in two hours. They'll say, "I'm only going to photocopy it."
I just...I mean, why? Why do they feel they even have to respond?
Maybe I'm just more annoyed by it due to my caffeine intake. oops. just dropped the mouse.
Anyway. I should um, not be online while at work.
why don't I have a WTF? icon? isn't that necessary?
