My mother is a librarian and that sounds like her day :) (though not so much the having orders waiting to go on the desk as she can't see the carpark from her library). Ahh book surgery, I remember it well, it was something I ended up doing a startling amount of whenever I went home for the holidays.
I really don't understand the assumptions some people make about some jobs :)
You mother sounds super cool! And book surgery for the holidays, how festive:)!
I hear you on the assumptions about jobs, I try to leave mine at the door when it comes to impressions about other people's vocations. Thank you so much for the comment!
