An Odd One for Friday: "There’s an ENTIRE SUBCULTURE OF LIBRARIANS WHO BLOG out there."
I saw this post on Library Stuff called I’m Scared. Hold Me., so I followed the link and found a post about librarians who blog.
"There’s an ENTIRE SUBCULTURE OF LIBRARIANS WHO BLOG out there. A sad, bizarre subculture. … LIBRARIANS. Who BLOG. What in the HELL could they have to BLOG about??"
What’s even cooler is the link to the retraction of those thoughts.
"I have to say, not just from the comments I have received, but from my time as a librarian (albeit not a REAL librarian, for it was just my job through university), that LIBRARIANS ARE COOL. And funny. And, you have to respect the fact that they can find a needle in a haystack for you when you really need it …"

"The days of the old lady with the tight bun who “shhhhhh”-es you all the time are GONE, man. These people are COOL. These people KNOW tons of stuff, man."
I just figured CinnamonOpus has a problem expressing sarcasm and humor online like me. I was actually a little surprised to find out the intial post was serious.
I’m a librarian. I blog. I’m proud of that. I have lots to say on my blog. (Although, apparently so do the spammers at the moment.) Some people find my work here useful.
