How fun! Thanks for sharing the picts!
I'd share mine but I am a Social Worker and the homes I go into require a hazmat suit and an incredible stomach to handle the stench
Just kidding, only a few of them are that bad.

Oh, that's right! You switched from a very high-stress mental health job to library science, right? And you're liking it, I gather. That's great.

I'm having a ball!! I supervise 40 students who wander around 17 decks of books trying to hide from me and spend their time texting instead of shelving books. Originally Posted by salsabike

This is such a great thread. I really enjoy seeing the interesting jobs TE'ers have. Here's a glimpse of my little world:
This is the gallery I used to have on the historic square of our little town.
This is my new studio space built above the garage.
Another view of my studio.

I always enjoyed opening the refrigerator door and having a cascade of cockroaches spill out. Or having to tip toe amongst the dog poop on the floor, or... Have I mentioned I LOVE the Library? Originally Posted by sundial

See, all that social do-good got you a nice, clean, normal work environment. The worst you have to worry about is mold on the bindings.I always enjoyed opening the refrigerator door and having a cascade of cockroaches spill out.
