The Driving Insane

As any user of public libraries knows, books are not always where they should be. I was once again (for like the third time since I got here today) helping someone locate a book in the young adult section. I looked where it should be, I looked where it might be, I looked in the adult fiction, and finally gave up and told the young couple I would request the book from another library. They said that was fine, and as we were walking away, the boy said, "Here it is!" and pulled it from a totally random spot on the shelf.

So weird.

An old man looked at my coworker and then at me. We both asked if we could help him. He chose me to trust with his request for a particular tax form. When my coworker walked away, he said he picked me because I was younger and he thought I would know more. The irony is that I could not find what he was looking for and had to ask my coworker to help me. Of all times to get lost on IRS.gov...I couldn't even validate his logic.
