[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 8663263, member: 42040"] I know! My previous position was a children's librarian - and because of those obligations, I couldn't exactly run gaming events and try to make casual friends with the kids. It's actually disappointing on many levels. I obviously love libraries, but I can't use the library (the only one in town) because when I enter the door to come in and find a book or attend an event, I'm a manager. I'm sought out for any crises that may arise, I'm pulled in to work wherever I'm needed, and the regular public recognizes me as staff and asks me for help. If you're familiar with the concept of a "third space" in society, this is one that I don't have. One of the only ones that is free to use and doesn't ask much of the people to come in and gather there. And in a small town with limited options, we have also bars, stores, and churches. And we can't discuss my relationship with the last one on these boards. [/QUOTE]
