[Publib] Is it called biblio-interruptus?

[Kathleen Stipek]

If a person does it to me, it's 'justifiable homicide.'   I'm not sure
what it is if something tedious like a clock or calendar does it.

Biblio is book; lector is reader.  I went to an online translation site,
input "reader interrupted," and got "lector rumpo," which has a certain
ring to it.

I believe that Joe Schallan is our resident Latin expert (all that
Catholic schooling, y'know).  Any Latin/Classics majors on the list?

Dear Colleagues,

Last Friday I attending a workshop in Topeka, Kansas.

Before leaving town to return home, I went to a Texas Roadhouse
restaurant for dinner.

The female server, Rachel, noticed the word "library" on my vehicle and
so wanted to ask me a question.

"What is it called when you have been reading happily all day and then,
sadly or irritatedly, have stop reading to go to work?"

I told her I didn't know.

I suspect there is no word for this experience.

So what do you think this experience should be called?

I will pass your suggestions on to Rachel.
