Subject: [bksvol-discuss] OT? You know you're a Bookshare volunteer if...
I don't want to clutter the list, but I've had a really massively
bad month and decided to write up something totally lighthearted
and frivolous tonight, just to relax and have a little fun.
smile. Enjoy.
You know you're a Bookshare Volunteer if…
- You've ever worn out a scanner;
- you're thrilled that the books you just bought on eBay have
loose spines because they'll scan easier and you don't feel
guilty about damaging them if it happens;
- you automatically change "die" to "the" in everything you read,
because it just has to be a scanno, right?
- you know where to find or have memorized the codes to put into
Word or Kurzweil to search for a smart quote, a tab, a paragraph
mark or a carriage return;
- you know what a header is in a book;
- someone says the word stripper and you immediately think "page
break blank line page number blank line" instead of "seedy night
clubs";
- you have more books to read than time to read them for the
first time in your life, and those aren't the ones you're reading
because you're scanning or proofreading yet another book;
- you've ever scanned or proofread a book you discovered you
absolutely hated halfway through, and finished it anyways because
someone else asked you for help with it;
- you proofread or scanned a book instead of listening to the
Superbowl;
- the local librarian tells you you're their most active patron
and the staff is dying to know why because you're blind and can't
read printed books;
and
- You know that Cherry Ames isn't a new soft drink!
