Happily, I seem to be approved for TSA pre-check most of the time. I'm not sure how it happened, but I will not complain. I love not having to take off my shoes or take out my laptop and toiletries bag. Except the buckles on my shoes set the thing off and I had to take off my shoes anyway.

I love being a librarian. In the old days, when I worked for the Evil Airline That No Longer Exists, I didn't like telling people I was in the airline business 'cause they always told me their worst travel horror stories. In stark contrast, everyone loves librarians ... and who doesn't enjoy being loved?



No one comes into the library to complain. Well, hardly anyone. When a patron comes in they are about to *shop* for something they love --- and it's already paid for! I loved being a librarian during the brief time I did it, too.
