So, my job is two-fold: to assist patrons in their research endeavors, and to answer any other questions that come my way–which range from where the bathrooms are, or any question about anything on campus, to how to get to Pasadena pr . (no joke, I got asked directions to places like the Reagan Ranch, Santa Barbara, Magic Mountain, etc. this summer. It’s like the Reference Desk is really “Information Booth”, LOL).

Well, just a few minutes ago I got asked a question that was quite humorous to me. A young man came up and after I assisted him with whatever he was looking for, he asked:

“Are you married?”

LOL. “No.”

“Alright!”

Random? Yes. Odd? Very. Not exactly a “reference” question I’ve ever had experience with! 🙂

Whatever. It just made me laugh, because I’m definitely not looking to date anyone. He was just trying to be funny in front of his roommate, and I laughed as well.

It made me smile, though, and after the past two crazy days, it was needed. 🙂
