Being a Librarian is Like... so Zen, Don't You Know?

Over at AttentionSpan, there's a link to a Yahoo!Education fluff piece about 8 low-stress careers. Included are preschool teacher, nursing assistant, and IT support. WTF?!? Though equally shocking in the AttentionSpan blurb is mention of librarian as an actual low-stress career. Yeah, right. There must be some other reason for the accelerated graying of hairs, the mean disposition, the loathing and unhappiness each and every shitty morning (or afternoon) before work. At least in Britain they know better. According to the BBC, librarians are some of the most unhappy worker-bees in that fair country. Beers and cheers to that!
