Things They Don't Teach You in Library School

  • You'll have to clean common work areas yourself. With supplies you bought.
  • Obnoxious older men will talk to you at the reference desk, joking that you're a "cute clerk," but that your hair color [height, sex, etc.] has changed since yesterday.
  • When you're buying those cleaning supplies, you should pick up hand sanitizer and tissues.
  • Don't forget window cleaner as part of your supply arsenal. You can skip this item if you're OK looking at greasy headprints on the glass curtainwall directly in front of you.

It's a miracle you haven't contracted Swine Flu.

I probably make it sound worse than it is. And I am a bit obsessive about some things.
