Librarian Confidential

I don't know why but I just seem to have one of those faces in which people like to tell me deep, dark, personal things about themselves and when it comes to working in the library I seem to evoke a need to confess their sins both legal and immoral.  While leading inquiring minds to the state legal code books I'm barraged by tales of illicit activities and petty crimes.  Seems as if everyone has something they are trying to get away with whether it be beating a speeding ticket, avoiding a sentence for drug possession or getting a restraining order lifted placed on them by their 'baby mama' or crazy ex-boyfriend. People, please. I am not your confessor. I'm not your priest, your lawyer, your doctor or your shrink.  Stop telling me every little intimate detail of your lives.
