One of the interesting things about this whole blogging thing is watching the search terms that lead people to my little corner of the blogosphere. Recently, this popped up:
“i work at a library” social phobia
I guess the reason I’m so amused by it is that, while I can piece together why that search might’ve lead someone here, I’ve never actually written about it… And yet. And yet. I do sort of have a social phobia. And I do work at a library.
I’m a fairly anti-social person. I have a handful of good friends but 9 times out of 10, give me the choice between going out to a party or a bar, and staying home to watch a movie or read a book….And I’m going to stay home.
But, like I said, I work at a library. I’ve been in my current position for a little over a year but before that, I worked at other librarys for a total of about three years. And always, always public service. Why?? I’m not a huge fan of people (I very much prefer the company of animals!), so why do I continue to put myself in this position? I honestly don’t know.
So to whoever searched “i work at a library” social phobia–I understand. I feel your pain.
