Dynamic splints are the most complicated of all finger splints, because they are often spring-loaded and always custom fitted. This means that they are not universal and require further assessment by the physician first. To splint your trigger finger with this method, you'll need to see your doctor.  Unlike other splints, dynamic splints use tension to actively engage the flexing and positioning of the injured finger.  They are, in a matter of speaking, on-hand physical therapy. Dynamic splints are only worn during rest or periods of inactivity, usually for just a few hours at a time. This allows for correct positioning of the muscles, ligaments, and tendons, which need to be in a relaxed state. Once your doctor recommends a dynamic splint and selects the proper type and fit, he or she will apply it.  Here's what will happen:  The physician will advise you to straighten the affected finger while supporting it with the other hand. Some situations require the finger to be slightly bent depending on the position to be corrected. The physician will now fit the dynamic splint onto your trigger finger until it completely fits. Further assessment will be made by the physician to correct positioning, alignment and proper fit. He/she will also check the pulse to see if the site has good circulation. He/she will instruct you to bend the affected finger. It should return back to a straight position because of the spring attached to the dynamic splint. Proper instruction will be given by the physician regarding how long the dynamic splint needs to be used. Once everything is completed, schedule a follow-up check-up in order to assess improvement of your injured trigger finger. If you experience any complications, such as poor circulation, unusual pain in the digit, numbness, or tingling, or the splint doesn't seem to be effective, visit your doctor before your scheduled follow-up. It will likely just require a quick realignment of the splint.

summary: Talk to your doctor about dynamic splints. Have your splint fitted and applied. Schedule follow-ups.

Arguably the most common and simple way of making someone feel awkward is through staring. Staring is a very focused and longer-lasting sort of look and it makes people feel uneasy. Look directly at someone in the eyes, and hold your gaze. The longer you hold your look, the more awkward you'll make the other person feel.  Staring can communicate a range of emotions. If you're smiling, for example, it may seem as if you're trying to flirt with that person. For the purpose of making someone feel awkward, however, you should keep your expression blank. A blank, neutral expression offers little explanation why you might be looking at that person, and the confusion will put your target on edge. It should be noted that continuous staring may make you feel uncomfortable as well. It's not a natural thing to do with someone you're unfamiliar with. Nervousness is the act of expressing worry and anxiety. This can be done by darting your eyes around and being fidgety. If people get the feeling that you're uneasy, the feeling will leap over to them as well. If you're a generally easy-going person, you'll have to make a conscious effort to be antsy. Don't sit still if you can help it. Body language is a great way to be awkward. Farting and burping are two of your trusty weapons if you're out to make situations awkward for people. These are especially good if you're in a relatively silent setting. That way, it will be difficult for people to brush aside the fact that you passed gas. This is especially effective if the person you're trying to make feel awkward is polite. If politeness is high on his agenda, it's possible he'll do his best to keep from embarrassing you. The more obvious your bodily function was, the more he'll probably squirm. Even the most easy-going people have a personal bubble. Unless you're in a romantic partnership with someone, there's an unspoken understanding that you won't get in their way. Although the bubble is different for everybody, getting right in their faces has the ability to make anyone uneasy. Keep in mind this won't result in an enjoyable awkwardness for anyone. If someone is prone to anger, he won't take this privacy invasion lightly. Human beings like to rely on expectations to make their lives easier. If you offer something like a high-five, there's a general understanding that the high-five will be carried out. If you remove your hand as the other person reaches for yours, this will create a psychological discomfort. No one likes seeing things unfinished. The best way to create awkwardness is to be sincerely awkward. People who spend significant amounts of time by themselves tend to develop their own odd habits that may be received awkwardly by others. This isn't advised if you're only planning on making someone feel awkward once. It's also not a good idea if you don't like being by yourself. However, awkwardness will come more naturally to you if you do.

summary: Stare directly at the other person. Act nervous. Gross people out with bodily functions. Get in the person's physical space. Leave a high-five unfinished. Spend a lot of time by yourself.

Some librarian positions in public libraries require only an associate's or bachelor's degree. These types of positions are often for teen and children's librarians. Almost all intermediate and advanced level library jobs require a Master's in Library Science (MLIS). These professional librarians have more advanced duties, such as overseeing the assistants or updating the library's collections. Librarians fill many roles, including reference librarian, corporate librarian, cataloguer, library manager, collections manager (deciding which books are added and removed), children's librarian, teen librarian, school librarian (K-12), academic librarian, systems librarian (involves IT work), or running the circulation desk. Research the roles that sound interesting to you, and focus your education towards these positions. Many library science programs also offer a specialization in archives. Archivists handle historic texts, preserving them physically and granting access to them for research. Many academic librarians also hold an additional master's degree in a specific subject. If you're passionate about an academic subject, such as art, law, music, business, or psychology, this path can combine it with your interest in libraries. Special libraries are usually private, company libraries that hold collections centered on legal, business, medical, or government resources. Most librarian positions in special libraries require a minimum of a master's degree in library science. A librarian may also need to have degrees or experience in the special library's specific subject area. Examples of subjects include law, business, science, and government.
summary: Look for jobs that require a college degree. Study for a Master's in Library Science. Specialize. Train for an academic library. Consider working in a special library.
