Reference desk, shift #2

Well, today was my second four-hour shift on a public library reference desk. I had to deal with fewer computer-related requests but that was still the bulk of work. Two noted patrons; one who was the spitting image of an ex of mine from 13 years ago and a young teen girl in a black t-shirt that announced, in large pink letters, "I KISSED ASHTON." She of course walked away from the printer with a small stack of printed pictures of Mr. Kutcher, at least one shirtless. Does she realize that he's dating a woman old enough to be her grandmother?

UPDATE: Oh and I forgot to mention the guy with a laptop that wanted us to supply him with dial-up access to his corporate network. This is a public library that is not only offering free WiFi access but also LAN jacks for the public, and this guy wants dial-up. Ever feel like no matter what services you offer it's never enough?
