Jesus Christ how wrong you are. Most librarians are now little more than retail assistants, working with "the customer" to issue "stock", while occasionally doing work to put "stock" back on "stock"shelves. Lots of team meetings and working with other librarians too, who are often women who managed to scrap a 2:2 in English Literature and are thus boring as fuck.

>>7027647
A building full of books which people use. People, who are mainly - due to "library diversification" - aggressive teenagers out to use "da internet"

It is voluntary, I worked for like six weeks in 2012, worst time of my life. Never again as far as I'm concerned. The notion that everyone should (or even could) be employed is a dated one anyway, we should accept the shift towards a society where most people do not work.

By coincidence, or not at all. I don't really care either way to be honest, I can take it or leave it. Besides, the type of girl that I would like would spend all her time chilling out as well.

>I'm sorry but I'm a girl and we don't like moochers. Like, ew. Seriously.
Anon pls. You do have a point though, most women (or people in general for that matter) don't like this type of lifestyle, they want people to be ambitious about their job and spending a lot of money and to not live peacefully but rather what passes for 'living life to the fullest' by their standards.

I'm not looking for girlfriends or friends who think that way either though, so everyone wins out by not having to spend time with one another.

>> No.7028115

>>7028090
Expecting everyone to be employed in an economy where this is a literal impossibility is irrational.

A lot of the unemployed people would genuinely like to work though, but I'm not one of them. It would be against everyone's interest if I were to compete for jobs with people who actually want them.

He's not who you were originally replying to.

Of course it's merely an opinion, but I don't see what's so passive aggressive about it except for the scare quotes, but those were merely meant to distance myself from that use of the phrase that I obviously don't agree with.
