you know you're a library geek when...

1. You know the working schedule of all library staff, and if they are unsure when they are next scheduled to work, they ask you.

2. The head librarian assumes that you'll walk her out to her car after the library closes on Friday night.

3. A chair/general area is staked out as "yours", and if someone is sitting there when you arrive, they apologize, saying something like, "Oh, I'm sorry - I'm in your chair... but I was just leaving, so you can have it."

4. You hear a thump, bump and "ouch" on the other side of the library, and you know exactly who fell off their chair.

5. A group of students from your classes drops by "your chair" with increasing frequency as the semester progresses to ask for study help and advice on assignments.

6. You spend more time in the library than you do in your bedroom at least six days a week.

7. Your primary social life is with other library geeks in the library.  Your day looks something like this... wake up and prepare for day, go to library, go to class, eat lunch, return to library, go to class, eat supper, go to library until closing, go to gym, go to bed.

8. On Saturdays, you bring a thermos of tea, your go-mug, five or so texts, all your course syllabi and assignments, and plan to settle in for the day.

*I do not meet all the requirements of a library geek.  It's really a good life.  No complaints.

**Thanks for this list in part to Kelsey and Amanda, who DO fulfill all the requirements of a library geek, and began compiling a list last year.
