Jesus it's in the air this week
On Thursday a patron (male)comes up to the desk with a bunch of books on Rastafarianism and says " I'm not going to be allowed to join this religion. How 'bout you??" All I could do was laugh. I was kinda shocked yet flattered that some one was trying to pick me up while I'm at the circulation desk!! My quick come back wold have been "I'm not sure my husband...Or my wife would appreciate that" , but I was laughing too hard to blurt it out.

Then on Saturday another one of our "favorites" (ie: pain in the butt) came in to check on his inter library loan. My brand new coworker (female) said to him as he was leaving " see you later" to which he replied " Does this mean you'll have dinner with me tonight?" Laughter ensues again!!

Well at least patron #1 has some some style. Too bad he's not my type-If you want to get to know me bring up a Sun Ra disc ,an episode of The Prisoner or a Harry Crews novel and ask me about it. You'll have plenty of chances since I just got a full time job!! Frosty Sambuca for everyone!!! (after I get paid Friday)

It'd be classic, but it never happens to me. I need to work in a library that actually has readers.

Hasn't happened to me yet but I have met female friends through the desk (ie, friend Jill noticing my Radiohead shirt and asking which show I attended, etc.)

I don't understand. Is "I'm not going to be allowed to join this religion. How 'bout you?" a pick-up line? Did you think they meant "perhaps I'll be allowed to join you"?

Would you like to meet me after work.. in dub convention?

It never happened to me when I was a student worker at a university library. Dammit.

I think librarians have an extra layer of sexiness by the impression of bookishness, which makes them my type in theory, but since the last one I had a conversation with wrote Umberto Eco's surname down as 'Echo' I may be misguided on this.

i'm reminded of trying VERY VERY HARD not to hit on the receptionist at the university psych clinic several years ago...

The one time I went out with someone who started flirting with me at the library, he turned out to be a drug dealer.

what makes it even worse is the way that my co-workers let go that she'd come in to look for me.
