For the record: MY usual response to The Dewey Question is "Believe it or not, my job doesn't really involve books!"
"It’s what happens next that, to me, is unforgivable. It’s when your eyes light up ever so slightly, that bemused, faraway look coalesces, and you turn to me and say: 'How ‘bout that Dewey Decimal System?'"

"Should I go to library school?"
The answer, unless you're already working in a library, is almost always no.

We could have had a musical adaptation of The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, The Waste Land, or Four Quartets.
Instead we got Cats.

Night Country might be the worst television show I’ve ever seen. Can’t comprehend the critical reception
My fiancé and I do this hehe
I’m not sure how many times we have to say this regarding spotting of the bench.
If you are the spotter and your lifter hits a monster PR, it is absolutely your obligation to help rack the bar then lean over and give your homie a kiss on the forehead as congratulations.
Quit messing this up!

My favorite part of my workday is the 30-second lag between my attempting to log into .@duosec and receiving the push notification on my phone - meaning I can't do anything except patiently stare at my phone for those 30 seconds

Librarian here. Information science is indeed a science. Librarianship OTOH, in the sense of the day-to-day work of most librarians, is most certainly not. It’s remarkably misleading to label the MLS “library science” and I wish the schools and the profession would abandon it.
People are incredulous when I tell them about "library and information science", one of my degrees. It's real, and it's very fake.
