Dear Patron...

Dear Patron, Welcome to the program. I see you are taking the introductory reference class. I know this because I have just shelved 50 books that you left in huge piles on the table. I am trying not to be annoyed by you, as we shelve and de-shelve side by side in the reference section. I wish you would acknowledge yourself as the cause of this additional shelving I have to do, but since you didn't, I am hoping that LIS newbies visit your future place of employment.

Dear Patron, What is up with the atlases? Every week it's the world atlas, the atlas of the Middle East, the Michigan atlas, the SouthEast Michigan atlas. WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT EVERY WEEK?

Dear Patron, You said the book was called Health Applications. I asked you if that was the exact title and you assured me it was. I searched and came up with nothing, but you insisted your instructor said it is here. After I discover it is actually called Health Concepts and Applications, you say, "oh, yeah, that's it".

Didn't you tell me you knew the exact title? What was the purpose of acting so positive when you really didn't know it at all? Now I never believe anyone when they claim to know anything about what they need. I have become jaded.
