Why is it when a reader wants a book that's checked out, they are happy to put their name on the list for whenever it comes in, but when a computer user has to wait for a computer they go ballistic?
And why do they sit & stare into space rather than pick up a magazine or newspaper to read while waiting for the next available computer?
Why do people doing genealogical research feel compelled to tell you EVERYTHING about their family tree? And why does no one ever come up to the desk when I'm held hostage by a genealogist?
Why can't people just ask a straightforward question instead of skirting around the issue?
Why did the minister who called in with a reference question treat me like a minion who wasn't worthy to pick up the crumbs from under his table--even when I called back with more information for him after discovering he hadn't given me the correct name of the author in the first place?
When is the good-looking, erudite, wealthy man going to come up to the desk & be wowed with my book knowledge & ask me out to dinner? (so far my only offer has come from a 70-something one-legged man. Really.)
