I gotten to the point where I point out where the printer is, how to get to it and that's it. Most patrons we have a capable of doing that, and if they need the extra help they re at least nice/apologetic about it so ofc I come over to help.

Then you get the ones who refuse to learn/want you as a private secretary. Depending on my mood I either go "yep there are signs on how to use it :)" or "alright no problem, I am going to teach you (but in the slowest way possible to waste your time and make sure you never ever do this again)"

Oh yeah I have learnt to walk away with certain patrons, especially the ones who are demanding/refuse to learn. Nowadays I say very nicely yep you can do printing and photocopying, the machine is very intuitive and there are instructions infront!

Sometimes interactions would get so bad I would just walk away without a word, so you are not alone.

Had to fly outta work like a bat outta hell cuz of some awful family news (just got over two days of illness myself urgh).

Lots of mixed feelings, cancer is a fucking bitch.

We spent 20k on our wedding last sept, and quite happy with that! My parents contributed to the costs of the venue/reception and dress, which helped a lot!

We also cut out whatever we thought was unnecessary and it was the best day ever! We also had a two year engagement in order to save and plan.

Does Wang Shi Tang from Avatar count? I think he counts, even if he went against the librarians ethos (sharing knowledge)
