Ideas of grandeur, Entertaining

Though business may be waning in your reference room with final exams wrapping up, don't let yourself be caught at the reference desk wistfully staring at your own blog, daydreaming of the day that someone will offer you a book deal for your concept. Even if you do entertain such ideas of grandeur, don't let others see you practicing your autograph for your imaginary promotional book tour of national and state library association meetings (where, of course, you'll be paid to speak about the silly self-importance of your profession and where each reading will end with everyone wanting to buy you a beer). Your patrons and colleagues just wouldn't understand.

Oh, humble manbrarian, I think you're well on your way to having your own "blook" -- are people really going to use that term?? Seriously, it would be the GSLIS gift of the year!

But my action figure will be so much cuter than that other one out there! I can doodle drawings of that, can't I?

What a coincidence! You do not look or smell anything like the inside of a kitten's mouth.

Darn it. And I was hoping one day that ALA Editions would publish "The Best of the Annoyed Librarian."
