If I Ran the Universe. Thursday, January 20, 2011. We're just going to pretend like the last 5 weeks of my life didn't happen at all, mmmkay? Thanks to everyone for your comments of support.). Yesterday I was sitting at the reference desk and a middle-aged man and his teenage son walked up to me. The father asked for books on getting your GED, so I walked him over, showed him what we had, pointed out the newer copies, explained some have CDs, and he seemed polite and grateful for the help. Second, to do ...

If I Ran the Universe...: November 2010

If I Ran the Universe. Tuesday, November 2, 2010. Yesterday I was teaching a patron how to use photo editing software and I'd just finished illustrating the way to crop a picture, by drawing a box around the area to keep and clicking to crop to the selection. She very innocently looked at me and asked, "So, where does the rest of the photo go when you crop it? I blinked. I waited for her to rephrase the question. She continued looking at me in awe. She meant exactly what she said. Links to this post.

If I Ran the Universe. Friday, March 4, 2011. Sometimes working in the reference department has its downfalls, such as I no longer know all my patrons' names. However, we have come up with some odd nicknames for our patrons in the absence of knowing their actual names, or in the apathy of wanting to use them. Some of our patrons' nicknames are as follows:. He talks to the books, among other things). Wants us to be Best Buy for him). CL troll, watch out). His mom, duh). The BO. Lady. Tin Foil Hat Guy.

If I Ran the Universe...: Bits 'N Pieces
http://ifirantheuniverse.blogspot.com/2011/02/bits-n-pieces.html
If I Ran the Universe. Tuesday, February 22, 2011. Do you ever listen to "Lovelines" on the radio? No, I didn’t know that was still on the air. Yeah, Adam isn’t on it anymore, but the guy Mike who is on now is pretty funny. Not like Adam, but good in his own way. I love when they play Stinky Pinky. Do I want to know what that is? Yeah, he’s brilliant. How is it he can diagnose the most disturbing problems over the phone with little or no information to go on? Like he knows what herpes sounds like? When y...

If I Ran the Universe...: Patron Questions
http://ifirantheuniverse.blogspot.com/2010/10/patron-questions.html
If I Ran the Universe. Saturday, October 16, 2010. You know your nametag is upside down. Yeah, that’s so I can read it. How else will I know who I am? Patron (looking at his own embroidered name on his uniform):. My name is right side up. That’s too bad. How are you supposed to remember your name that way? You’re right. I should get them to change it. He tried to pronounce his name backward and we laughed. I know your name. Well you’re special. So, how long have you been a librarian? Me (in mock horror):.

If I Ran the Universe...: October 2010

If I Ran the Universe. Wednesday, October 27, 2010. We have a coworker who has been having a lot of fun with the Halloween costumes this week. Monday she came in and wore a sticker that said, "Hello, my name is Mary" and her hair was sticking in the air. I thought momentarily that she was Mary from Something About Mary. But if you knew this woman you would think twice, like I did, and profess to have no idea what the costume meant. My first instinct was right, much to my shock. Links to this post. Patron...
