Ouch, Ouch, and Double Ouch!

It's been a while since the last post.  Part of the reason is that this has been the semester of health problems.  I don't know if this is because my body is reacting to the letdown of graduating from SJSU or what.  The good news is that after a few visits to the doctor and to a physical therapist, I'm finally feeling much better.

All of this reminds me of one of the recurring themes in grad school: the reference librarian's job is to answer questions and only ask them in order to answer them.  In other words, don't pry.

Turns out I have patello/a-femural syndrome, which I'd never heard of before.  If I were the patron instead of the librarian, I'm not sure I would have gone up to a reference desk and asked about my condition.  Yet patrons ask us about their diseases and conditions all the time.  Sometimes I just want to say, "Whoa!  Too much information!"
