Yes, saw that one and realized I spend way too much time saying 'I'.

From childhood it has always been "we". When friends question my pronoun, I say, "Why its Me, Myself, and I. We are going to...... Care to join us?"

We always tell our staff that a question is better than a statement. Guests love to talk about themselves. Let them. Yes, sometimes the stories may bore, but more often than not, they're very interesting.
Think about how much you loved storytime as a child. Now, as an adult, you get to have storytime and get paid for it.

I like that way of looking at it!

Actually, there are many ways to emphasize something, as are there many "we"s to consider. I'm not sure if the one in the article is the editorial "we" it might be the actual plural "we" depending on the circumstances but it's certainly close. The thing is, when using "we", one has to be careful as to not accidentally invoke the royal "We" instead. It's a thin line, after all.
