oh stop

I get so tired of trying to explain to people why I want to be a librarian. No one seems to understand that there is actually more to librarianship than "oh I love to read books too!" If you love to read books, go read them, Barnes and Nobel is probably the place for you. I also think that public librarians probably suffer a lot more of "I'm trying to find this book a friend told me about, I don't remember the title or author but it just came out a couple of years ago and it's about the lady who is a widow and lives on a farm by herself...." Maybe that's not the case, but I wish people would just realize that it's not necessarily about the books, but the information in them!
