Where am I?

Woman: My boyfriend told me to go to the County Clerk's office. So, is this it?

(does the liberry look like an office?)

Are you...

Phone call-

Hello, this is Amy, how can I help you?
Customer: Uh, are you the um, philosopher, no, I mean the liberrian... oh nevermind.

Literally YELL Phones

Two guys were sitting @ opposite sides of the Internet area. They talked on their yell phones to each other.

Actually, they didn't really need to use the phone because I could hear the whole conversation (as I was sitting @ the desk in the middle of the Internet area).

Thanks for sharing...

Woman @ ref. desk: How much does a polar bear weigh?
. . . enough to break the ice. Hi, I'm Marie.

Lost Cell Phone

Last night a man came to the desk to ask about his lost cell phone. He said that he gave it to someone and then left to use the restroom. When he came back, the cell phone (and person) were gone. (Surprise?) Then he asked, so, do you have surveillance?

-----------------

The security guard thinks that he is trying to find out about the surveillance so that he can rob the cash register!

Bandwidth

Yesterday our network had a bandwidth problem, so all of the public computers were slow / froze every minute. I had to explain about 100 times that I can't get into Yahoo! or Craigslist for you
. . . There is nothing I can do to fix the bandwidth problem. Also, I don't know your Yahoo! password.

Pathetic

Last Friday afternoon, about an hour before closing, I answered the phone. It was a mother doing the research for her daughter. The subject was astronomy, and she needed information on some obscure star or nebula. First I asked what grade her daughter is in? The mother said, "didn't you hear me, I said professor. That means college!"

Of course I asked if the daughter had gone to her college library. The mother said, "do you know who the librarian is over there?" I said no, not personally. She said "the liberrian is a student. My daughter wasted a whole hour in the liberry."

------------

Poor thing, spent a whole hour in the liberry. Now it's time to let mommy do the homework.
