Random question...

So, my job is two-fold: to assist patrons in their research endeavors, and to answer any other questions that come my way--which range from where the bathrooms are, or any question about anything on campus, to how to get to Pasadena pr . (no joke, I got asked directions to places like the Reagan Ranch, Santa Barbara, Magic Mountain, etc. this summer. It's like the Reference Desk is really "Information Booth", LOL).

Well, just a few minutes ago I got asked a question that was quite humorous to me. A young man came up and after I assisted him with whatever he was looking for, he asked:

"Are you married?"

LOL. "No."

"Alright!"

Random? Yes. Odd? Very. Not exactly a "reference" question I've ever had experience with! :)

Whatever. It just made me laugh, because I'm definitely not looking to date anyone. He was just trying to be funny in front of his roommate, and I laughed as well.

It made me smile, though, and after the past two crazy days, it was needed. :)
