My mum was a librarian for 20 years. Benefits include:
Getting to read all the books before anyone else. Nobody complains if you are reading at work. No library fines for overdue books and no limit on how many books you can take out. Quiet work environment.
I actually did an internship at the library - wonder how I manage to organise that - there is a large amount of repetitive manual labour involved as I recall it, mostly handled by the junior staff
Picking stuff up with my toes. I use the two big ones like chopsticks or just scrunch something up with all of them together. My toes can spread out as wide as my fingers, so it’s easy to manipulate things with them. Also, I am very well balanced on one leg, probably because of doing this for so long.
This power is more and more useful as I get older and find it more of a chore to bend over, with my beer belly getting in the way (I’m almost 50, it’s a sign of success!). If it’s below my waist I’m going to pick it up with my foot 50% basically.
I live in a warm climate and hardly ever wear closed shoes luckily, I know some places it wouldn’t be practical…
