Well I HAD to be, since my entire career I was a solo, nobody else to fall back on but one 80 year old volunteer once a week. Most of that time I worked as a hospital librarian, with doctors who needed drug interactions, surgical techniques, meta studies like yesterday (and they weren't ER docs, either - surgeons usually.) I worked with almost 100 doctors, 250 nurses, technicians, therapists, administrators, office staff and janitors, plus patients and their families. Like my Dad's, my desk looked like a paper factory exploded and, like him, I knew exactly where the folder with the quarterly budget was, or the orientation papers, or the draft of the article I was writing was tucked. Everything had to be easy to run in case I went on vacation (or maternity leave - you should have seen the panicked looks I got - "you ARE coming back, right??)
Where did you / do you work? Aside from the hospital I spent 5 years in a community college library, too.
