At least I was able to give them all satisfactory answers. Sometimes I get patrons with deeper questions that I have to defer to the subject specialists because I haven't the slightest idea how to begin searching for the answer. That's usually the business ones, though--I am clueless when it comes to searching for various types of company info.
(Thing I love about my current library job, we are about 90% email and phone questions, which I find way more enjoyable, even if there are some weirdnesses about doing reference by email.)
Yesterday, both my immediate coworkers were out sick, so I saw my boss for 3 minutes when she came in, random IT people walking through (the back door to their offices is at the back of our space) and I think one other person. It was great.
I like my general position, where I sit in an office behind the scenes and rarely have direct interaction with patrons--mostly the other librarians either find problems or have problems reported to them that I then deal with. I couldn't do it on a daily basis and admire those who can.
