At the opening session the new ALA president spoke. When I began my library career (said she) I never expected that one day I would be head of ALA.
Now, if you are walking down the street and suddenly you are clobbered by a meteor, you may say honestly that you never expected that. Or if you learn that you are actually the long-lost heir to the Russian throne, after your faint you can dazedly admit that you never had the least idea that this would happen. Or if one morning you wake up to discover you have been transformed into a cockroach or Mickey Mouse, that is something never expected.
But an ambitious person beginning in librarianship probably thinks about future advancement to a high position.
