So, I was talking to the librarian in London today, asking if one of my suspects had been there when the murder happened. I'm studying to be a librarian, and the first thing that jumped to mind was, "Is she allowed to tell me that? That might go against the ethics of guarding a patron's privacy!" My next thought was, "I've been studying waaaaaaay to much!" I was amused though...

Lol, well I try not to rant too often. I figure people who aren't actually in the program *probably* don't care. Although at the same time I sometimes get the urge to say, "Um, there's a lot more to it than shelving and checking out books." And good job for knowing you have to study. :)

Oh, my little rant wasn't directed at anyone in particular Calico! It was just a "yes you have to go to grad school to be a librarian rant". I know you were kidding. :)

Thanks for the luck! :) So far I've only been through one semester, but I enjoyed it. Although things got really busy at the end.

Well, the library is my favorite place. It always quiet. Well, it's not easy to find a quiet place in a city. Go for it bitter suite.

Two of my dream jobs: working in a bookshop or being a librarian : o )

Don't say that in an interview.

I used to manage bookstores, now I manage in a library.

I always get a shiver when someone says that in an interview "I always dreamed of working in a library, I love to read".

No, you are here to work, not to read.

Well ... part of the dream is reading, which is probably why it shall stay exactly that - just a dream.

We had someone apply for a position at our company once and he told us he'd just been turned down by the army. When I asked why he'd been turned down, he said that in an interview, when asked why he wanted to join the army, he had replied it was because he wanted to fire rocket launchers. He didn't get a job with us either : o )
