Well, here it is, Tuesday night. My day job (the one that pays the bills) is me being a librarian. Yep. January will be my 15th year at the same job.
Trust me when I say I am not your typical librarian. Hell, I have a ponytail and I wear off-the-wall jewelry including my SG necklace for all to see. If I could get away with it I'd wear blue jeans and t-shirts to work. But I am supposed to look "professional." I don't even do that very well. I have to wear a tie to keep up the image.
You probably think all I do is sit around and read all day. Not really. People come in, they look for a book I help them find it. Kids come in with homework questions and I help them find the answer. Sometimes wackos come in and we have to deal with them too. Most of my co-workers are women and they are fun to work with. They put up with me because they know I can be insane one minute and normal the next. I like to keep them guessing. I suppose one of these days electronic books will put libraries out of business. I hope not. I can understand why people have e-books and all that. But there is nothing like holding a hardback or paperback copy of a book in your hand.
Don't let this out. I'm reading "Fifty Shades of Grey." I have to see what all the controversy is all about with that book. It got horrible reviews. Fuck the reviews. I'm liking it.
So, if you have a burning question you would like to ask a librarian I'm all ears. If I don't know the answer, I'll just make it up. Like I said, I'm not your normal librarian. Now let's see who all reads my blog tonight.
Peace everyone.

Yeah. I like it. My favorite pick up line, "Hey, I'd like to check you out." I never actually used it. How you doing?
