{ Don't make me shush you }
-ExcellentThis wasn’t my experience, so I can't take credit for its humor. I was going through old emails and found the quote from a couple of weeks back from a coworker.....
Does every library have at least one employee who will not stop running their mouth every second that they are there? This particular employee can be heard talking to herself as she leaves the parking garage, up the stairs to the building, and she doesn’t stop or slow down as she enters the building and walks into the staff room. At least you can hear her coming..... However, if you are stuck working the circulation desk with her for any period longer than five minutes your head is liable to explode from the running monologue of inane chatter about anything and everything that she sees, notices, or thinks while you are standing there with her. Example:
“If you had glasses I could spray clean your glasses, but you don’t. I’m not going to spray clean your eyeballs, they probably already do that on their own. This is that nice non-ammonia glass cleaner…”
Is it ever appropriate to shush a librarian?
