What is it about librarians, do you think, that makes them prone to such superiority? I know a librarian, personally, and she is an obnoxious know it all. Then there is the librarian down the street from my work, I go at lunch sometimes, that always, always glares at me and speaks rudely to me. Oh wait, I know what it is!

It must be difficult to remain calm sometimes and not let the irritation at the assumptions people make get to you too much.

Of course no one helped him or saw anything, though he was theoretically in view of the ship’s watch. He was

My friend Jamie kicked ass: Security is no longer allowed to remove patrons without approval from the librarian on duty unless it's life or death. She made it clear to all the librarians I was welcomed guest. She's earned extra chocolate this Halloween.
The caller whom I was making uncomfortable has decided to remain anonymous.
