County salaries are public record; therefore, I know a certain admin in my building makes $93,000 a year.
She just asked me to help her find an address that she could NOT find in the phone book. Literally, the task was giving her a migraine. So, putting my Master's degree to hard work, I went to Google, typed a few more keystrokes and her answer magically appeared.
"Oh, I could have done that."
Yeah, but you didn't. And, you're welcome.
Also, you'd think I'd encounter more full-blown lunatics in the library but I really don't. I work in a bubble. But I met one today. Do me a favor and picture a large-chested woman with no bra and a low cut tank top and glossy eyes that can only see one thing: the mothership. Now, here's what went down:
Zoolulu Quartz Rainbow: "I need to know where the bibles are."
Me: "We have them in two places; would you like to check one out or do you want to look at one while you're here?"
ZQR: "I asked you a simple question and I am not going to repeat myself."
Me: "I'll gladly show you where they are because I'm going to pull out the heaviest one and smash it over your head."
I took her to the bibles and then showed her that they were on two shelves.
ZQR: "EXCUSE ME. WHERE ARE THE BIBLES. I ASKED YOU A SIMPLE QUESTION AND YOU JUST TOOK ME ON A WILD GOOSE CHASE."
Me: "..." and again, "The bibles are right here." I showed her.
ZQR: "Yes, I see."
Let's see. Do I love my job today? Do you love my job today?
