The Randomness of Being a Librarian
A
60-year-old man came into the library today, asking for—no— begging,
for help to learn how to use a computer. He was looking for a manual
labor job, as a yard man, and he was confused and embarrassed that he
could no longer apply for jobs on the telephone. He did not know how to
use a keyboard mouse or have an email address. ”I need a job. I used
to just give my social security number and they would hire me. Now I
can’t call them on the phone for a job. I just can’t do this. I’m
sorry. Thanks for your help, ma’am. I’m sorry….” And he left.
