Believe me, the long explanations as to why a senior member of staff is late because of bowel motions are the only bearable part of our team briefings.
This may extend to the colonic function of elderly pets and parents as well.

Wait, wait! Do you mean there is a direct link between Librarianship and IBS?! I have never ever had intestinal problems until I learned all about them from a sick-o co-worker. Now I have it! Is it psychological?! Is it contagious?! Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOO....

How about a colleague who describes, in excruciating detail, the contents of her removed ovarian cyst to anyone who will listen?

What about the co-worker who DOESN'T talk about any of this sort of thing, but who kinda sorta has an aroma of a leaking colostomy bag about him -- and I'd be more forgiving if I knew that's what it was, except I daren't come out and ask?
It might be a colostomy bag that he's confiscated from one of the readers ("Please note: the exercise of bodily functions are not allowed in the Reference Library") He'll have been distracted by an asymmetry in the display of the stamp pads and forgotten all about what's in his pocket.
That's how a colleague explained away a brassiere.

I now know how many polyps one of my colleagues has on his colon. He's using his "outdoor" voice to tell another colleague about his colonoscopies. Great, as I'm typing this he's talking about how his father found "bleeding." EWWWW!
Um. I think that advice pretty much pertains to ANY occupation.

Haha! I am that librarian. It's one hell of a way to wind up a coworker. Let me tell you about the magic of bulk fiber...

Don't be the librarian who continuously discusses your Crohn's Disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and chronic diarrhea with your library coworkers. Keep that shit to yourself.
