From today's phone reference stint...
Patron: Can you send for the book from Canada?
Me: No, we can't get books from Canada, anymore.
(This continued back and forth for a while til I said: Canada is a separate country from the US.)
Patron: No, it's not. It's a province.
Me: ... (Well, no, I didn't pause. I stupidly tried to explain.)
Feeling: bemused
And here I thought we were the 51st state! :)
ReplyDeleteSee the things you can learn at the library! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I could not have kept myself from laughing at that point. YOU are a professional!
ReplyDeleteI'll admit I had to put the phone down for a few seconds to compose myself. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove it! This Canuck gave you a plus one for being a professional and sharing this with us. :)
ReplyDeleteI knew my Canadian friends would enjoy it. :)
