As you are flying to New Orleans for ALA, be sure to acknowledge your library-brethren/sistren -- the flight attendants. Like you, these kindred spirits teach in small, confined spaces; they express an obvious boredom with teaching the same lesson over and over again; and their lessons are directed to patrons who blatantly ignore them.
For those of you who are not flying to New Orleans, express your camaraderie by handing out packets of peanuts to the students in your library classes.

Love this post as I am married to a flight attendant. Yes, we are kindred spirits.
Love this! So funny, and so true.
I went to library school with a flight attendant who was switching careers... or was she?
We are anxiously awaiting the librarian invasion down here. Can't wait!
I was a flight attendant for thirteen years, then switched to a public library. I swear it is exactly the same job, but on the ground with books instead of in the aire with food.
