I can't speak for the rest but I start the day with a couple of shots of O.P. rum to steady my nerves before dealing with the 'I borrowed a blue book here last year, where is it?' questions.

Libarians (intentional mispelling) do not do this. Library assistants and student shelvers do it. An MLIS gives you some privileges.
