*sings* "my own pers.on.al weirdo"
I had an interesting exchange today on the phone at work.
Me: "XYZ Library, Miss Y* speaking."
Caller: "Hi. What time are you open until today?"
Me: "Today...9pm we close."
Caller: "aah, this is the nice Miss Y?"
Me: [laughing] "Oh no, I'm terribly sorry, you must be confused. This is the horrible mean and nasty Miss Y."
Caller: "Oh you are so lovely. You are the one that does the storytimes, yes?"
Me: "Ah, the storytimes."
Caller: "You are wonderful. You are so gorgeous."
Me: "Oh okay, thankyou. See you later" [hangs up].
Now - do I email the boss with this as a compliment to Library staff, as she has instructed us to do more often - or as an incident to be reported in case I've a new personal weirdo?
And what is more scary:
- That a random patron thinks I'm lovely?
- Or that it may be one of the Dads who bring their toddlers to storytime?
*Pseudonym-city. Deal.
