Life Lessons from a Librarian

Q: I work the stun line of a slaughterhouse here in Kansas. I love my job and to enhance my life, I’m thinking of getting my MLIS? What can I expect?

A: First let’s track down what you mean by MLIS. Since you’re writing to ONE BIG ASS LIBRARY I think you've already received the MLIS. Think of your last high school reunion. Remember the derisive laughter when you came in? That’s because you were voted MLIS meaning “Magnificent Loser in School” and that pretty much summarizes your four years of high school -- swirlees, buttocks bleeding from locker room towel snaps coupled with the horror of public zither lessons. Rest cool sir, there's no need for additional training you’re already there.
