OK, it's official. Nobody likes the reference librarian. I've had a total of one reference question (and the usual issues with the Pharos printing station). I suppose I could blame the weather (it snowed for the first time last night and now it's clear and very, very cold). Or the disgusting coldy cough I have. (I know, it's really super inviting. It's just more trouble than it's worth to find someone to work an evening around here with our miniscule staff.) But the last straw... I just saw a person, about 10 feet from the reference desk where I'm sitting eagerly awaiting, ask one of our homeless regulars if he could tell her what a catalog location meant. (He nicely directed her to the circulation desk.) So apparently the new question hierarchy is: fellow student, homeless patron, circulation student employees, and then the reference staff. Woohoo! I think that means it's ok for me to duck out 5 minutes early now.
