I have this image in my head of what a librarian (or library tech) should be; the quiet, responsible type. Intelligent and not prone to messing around. They are not silly or juvenile, and they know what they want out of life.
This may be leaning towards stereotyping, but as I work in a public library, I get the increasing feeling that I'm too immature for that sort of environment. I'm too happy to talk to patrons who need help, I'm too excited to organize the collection, or even put together displays.
I wish I had something more to say to this, but it's just a fleeting thought that struck me as I search for full time work. Not that I mean that I'm utterly childish, but I suppose I have no patience for the politics that go on in libraries. I just want to go in, do my job and be happy about it.
Heh, guess I'll never know what I want out of life. Perhaps it's a good thing; it'll keep me guessing about where to go next, and I'll be prone to a few more adventures.
