Wow, that’s ludicrous.
I just returned from a lunch celebrating a library employee’s 40th anniversary of employment, which was lovely. Not so lovely was being told by another library employee that there is some chatter somewhere online (I don’t know where) that I am the Annoyed Librarian.
Let me make this abundantly clear: while the “twopointopian” crowd irritates me at times, I own my opinions about them and all other library-related topics, even when it gets me in trouble. (Which it has.) In case you have forgotten, I work at a public library. Also, I am a better writer than the Annoyed Librarian, I wouldn’t put up with the morons who comment on her blog regularly, I have much less of a drinking problem, and I’d much rather have a Manhattan than a martini. So if you see a cranky-yet-well-written blog by a public librarian named Nanette who likes Manhattans, you can be assured that it is written by ME.
The only anonymous/pseudonymous blog I have considered starting is called “Scholarly Communications is Boring,” and I made up that title to taunt my husband, who works for an institutional repository. However, I am too bored by scholarly communications to bother blogging about how boring it is. If you would like to use that title, by all means, go right ahead.
If you know where this chatter is going on, please let me know so I can virtually smack the shit out of people. Or cut them.
