You might be (destined to be) a librarian

By Paul Biba

images-1.jpegI know a lot of librarians read us, so I thought I’d publish this posting from The Epist that took my fancy. I’m afraid that I answer yes to all counts except #3 (I don’t have an ex – still married after 42 years):

5. you have to fight an urge to offer uninvited help when you overhear conversations at the coffee shop / post office / in line

4. you create spreadsheets / databases… at home

3. an ex has ever accused you of loving them for their books / bookcases / bookshelves

2. you wear corrective lenses (ooo, stereotype. But no really, do you?)

1. when you hear a movie based on a book is coming out, you read the book anyway

  1. Just wondering about where the image for this story comes from.

  2. Found it through Google Images. Don’t have a link.

  3. You shouldn’t read the book anyway.

    You should read the book instead.
