Yep, I'm really that small, apparently

posted Friday, 26 June 2009
The other day I overheard the on-call who was working with me tell the rather pesky old man she was helping on the computer (for the 3rd or 4th time) that there was someone waiting for her at the desk, she had to go. I thought that was a bit odd, as I was sitting at the desk and there was no-one waiting for help. I figured it was just an excuse to get away from the old guy. But when she came back she said, "Oh! I thought you were a patron. From where I was standing and where you're sitting, you looked like a small, blonde child." Is that a good thing? I'm really not sure.... Just another thing to chalk up to tiny librarianhood, I guess.
