I may not be the oldest library employee in years, but I am in years served. 41 years ago, I applied for a job at CMU Libraries. This was before the Internet, so I answered a Help Wanted newspaper ad. Human Resources required a typing test, and I think I impressed them with my 80 words-per-minute, accurate typing - especially when I showed them my right hand. I’d accidentally and painfully closed my thumb in a car door a week before. It was past the point of hurting, but my blue thumbnail still looked ugly enough that the interviewer recoiled in disgust and respect.
