I cannot
- read your mind
- do your homework for you
- babysit your child
- allow you to drop the f-bomb repeatedly in the children’s department, around small children
- design/create the flyer for your small business
- reserve a movie for you that is still in theaters
I can
- perform a reference interview, which means I will ask you many questions that might make it seem like I am slow, but I am really just trying to make sure I can get you what you actually want
- show you all the materials we have on a topic, and maybe even find some area tutors
- entertain your child during storytime and show you our play area, full of puzzles, pop-up books, and puppets
- give you the choice to either watch your language or leave my department
- show you how to log on to our computers, the basics of publisher, and help you print your flyer (in color, if you like!)
- tell you where that movie is currently playing in our area, and let you know the DVD release date
Nice post – so true. Now, can you reserve a copy of Iron Man II for me?

A friend of mine recently sent me a message to tell me that someone asked her for a DVD of Hot Tub Time Machine, and it made her think of me. Asking too early for that movie is particularly funny to me.
