Top 10 Ways to know you have worked in a public library too long!

1. You start to hate small children (I didn't think this was possible, but it is. Especially children who have parents who think a two-year-old can behave on their own, unattended!)

2. Weird things starts to seem regular. example: the smell of urine, eew!

3. You keep track of books old ladies read and sometimes get asked: "Carlos, have I read this." To which I respond with uber confidence, "Yes Ms. Simmons, you are up to date on your James Patterson"

4. You check-out too many books (which I usually don't read) and then don't really worry about bringing them back because you don't get library fines.

5. When people ask you for the DIRTAY BOOKS you know exactly what they are talking about and where they are located. examples: Desperate Hoodwives, Mo' Money, and Marry Your Baby Daddy.

6. Most of your conversations are about books, library patrons, or other library related things. (If you are my friend or have talked to me you probably already knew this)

7. You find yourself saying more than ten times a day "I hate that person and want to kill them!"

8. You can sense bitchy people and can automatically prepare yourself for some nagging without having to punch a pillow.

9. Small children pretend you are an alien when they see you at the store and whisper to their parents, "Mom, there's the library man."

10. You start a blog about your life at work because so many freaking crazy things go on.
