I actually enjoy having tons of books piled up on my desk because it gives me the opportunity to hide in the office. Especially if I know that difficult patrons are around. I love letting "Julia" and "Amy" deal with annoying, rude or stupid patrons -- I'm all about the schadenfreude when it comes to them.
Sorry but difficult patrons are part of the life of a public librarian. Some times a big big part.
