So, I work in a library and am a couple of months away from getting my MLIS degree. A week or so ago I was trying to get a co-worker to check out the Best Show. I think she was truly interested until I gave her the disclaimer that there might be some ribbing of librarians and that you need a degree for it. I mentioned the "degree in shushing" comment, which we do hear from time to time and she went nuts. It's kind of a complex within the profession. I think it's kind of funny.
Anyway, she then proceeded to go on a 45 minute rant about how wrongheaded and offensive that is to those of us working in libraries, etc... Needless to say, I don't think she tuned in.
The good news is that three other people I work with heard about it all later and they're going to start listening. So hooray!
