Librarians spend a significant portion of time at their desks or in front of computer terminals; extended work at video display terminals . Assisting users in obtaining information or books for their jobs, homework, or recreational reading , working with users under deadlines. Some librarians lift and carry books, and some have to climb ladders to reach high stacks, although most modern libraries have readily accessible stacks. Librarians in small organizations sometimes shelve books themselves.

I think this is more a description of a library clerk. Librarians with a bachelors and esp. masters degree are more into the organization of the media in the library (BA) and do things like indexing to ensure findability (BA). Also they decide which books and journals suit the patrons and ensure accessibility of (electronic) documents (MA). Also they are into (long-term) archiving and cost/use calculations (MA)

I would work on high priority jobs and try to find assistance from my surroundings to finish the less priority jobs.

Examples: I spend the whole day day-dreaming while leaving all the paper works to me subordinates. What a good leader!

I work on projects. I work with operators on improvments. I assist in areas that are behind.
I clean areas. I assure operators are busy and putting out good product.

I firstly give a front kick, followed by a side kick to that fellow. Finally, he falls down on the floor...!!!
Yell: Hey clowns free hot dogs over here. Then lead them into a trap and beat them.

Alternative answer:
I would first try to understand his behaviour. In the meantime, I would try to explain the library rules to him with patience. If he still continue his unruly behaviour, I will request him to go out the the library in an attempt not to interfere with other library users.

I want some money. Even though this job's income is a bit less, but better than nothing. You also have no choice. I am the best. I believe I am qualified to finish your money.

Besides, I used to be a library helper at the College and I admire the stable and quiet reading atmosphere within the library.

My boss asks me to create a document comparing the pros and cons of purchasing different kinds of software. He's just crazy. In fact, he cares only for the budget assigned to him from his top boss. Why asks me to do unnecessary things!

It's difficult to find people that cannot work with me. You see! I am such an easy-going guy! However, there are cases that some ladies or woman that are so noisy that I just want to kick her out of the library. To improve a difficult situation, I think mutual understanding is important. If she knows what I am going to do, I think the situation can be improved in most situation unless she want to go to hell...Ha! Ha! One foot kick, followed by a side-kick without mercy!
