You may be a reference librarian if...

...if, every week, you have the same conversation with the same woman.

"Hi. I'd like a copy of the Times Sunday crossword."

*fumbles in cabinet for the Times Sunday magazine section that we keep at the desk for patrons to borrow to make their own copies* "Here you go!"

"Oh...you don't make copies anymore?"

"No, sorry. But you can make your own copy on the photocopier over there." *points in general direction*

"But you used to make copies!"

*Bites tongue so as to not make any of the following snarky replies:
1. Yes, we still do, but they're usually gone by the end of the day Sunday. Today is Wednesday.

2. It's easier to tell you we don't make copies than to explain that we don't make LOTS of copies so that we don't end up with extras at the end of the week.

3. We'd charge you a dime for a copy from the desk. Curiously, it costs you a dime to make your own copy. How bout that?

4. No, we don't make copies. Nor did we last week, last month, or last year. This should no longer surprise you.*

Good thing I'm a professional and all...
