"I need someone to type a letter. Do you know anyone? Can you type it? I'll pay you something."
"Well, sorry I can't type it for you but you can use one of these computers."
"No, no, no. Can you type it for me this week sometime?"
"No, but maybe the Career Centre could advertise for a student."
"Well, I am going to go read newspapers now. In an hour I will walk past here and please let me know if you've found someone."
A prime example of a standard reference interview, College Library, 2:08 pm Saturday.

So did the patron come back to harass you? Don't leave us hanging here!
Yes, of course he came back! And I outlined three suitable options for him...none of which involved me pinning up my hair and sitting at a typewriter. Too bad! I could use the income supplement!
