A day in the life of Abhirama the Librarian:
Scene 1: Home
Early Morning. Wakes up and decides that he could use another hour of sleep and gets up leisurely. Ablutions. Reads the newspaper for half an hour or so. Has a relaxed breakfast followed by a super filter coffee. Flasks up a couple more cups and starts for the library.
Scene 2: The Library
Reaches the library by 10 (on his cycle of course). Opens the shutters, sets things up and hopes for a not too busy day. Puts on some nice music and starts reading a book with his flask just beside him. Sips some coffee now and then. Helps out a few people find their books and issues them. It's 1 PM now. He's hungry now. He calls up a couple of his friends and they have a simple lunch together. He gets back to the library, pulls the shutters down, goes inside the Librarian's Lounge and takes a nap. Wakes up at around 4 PM. He's very fresh now. He opens the shutters back up and continues reading where he left off. It's peak time now. He's interrupted a lot more now but doesn't mind the interruptions. He helps out people find their books and even recommends one or two. Time flies. It's 8 PM. He shuts down the library for the day and gets back home. The weather is very pleasant and he enjoys the ride back home. Dinner awaits him.
Scene 3: Home
Has a nice simple dinner. Watches some TV. Puts some music on and goes back to reading. It's midnight now. He's very sleepy. He puts the book away and quickly falls asleep.
My dream job right now is to be a librarian. What's yours?

ReplyDeleteexcuse me?
ReplyDeleteOh my bad. You obviously meant your dream job is to get a life!
ReplyDeleteI don't think that's what he meant :P
ReplyDeleteI have a wonderful theory about work and the human brain. Psychology I think. I should take a course.
Anyway, seems like a nice laid-back job. I've done this a few times actually, sitting at Arcade, gobbling up books, watching people come in and recommending stuff. It gets old really quick. Which will give you an idea as to what my theory could be.
Details analysis on the human brain later.
Detailed*, sorry.
