I only got 6.
But that’s ok, because I do not believe that Librarian’s are geeky!!!

Sorry to post twice – missed Hannah’s question. There are several library schools in England – Manchester, Newcastle and others. You could be really exotic and go to Edinburgh.

Scored 11. I work at a rural libray and have something called a Community Librarian Certificate – no useless degrees here! As for sorting Smarties – two of my now adult children are obsessive in that way. My daughter spent a ridiculous amount of time on her holiday a few years ago organising 200 songs into a play list for her MP3 player. But, go figure, they are both chefs.

Yes, I sorted M&Ms by color as a child. Do I get points for continuing to do so into adulthood? I got 16 points and would have scored 17 if I thought of English as a useless undergraduate degree as some poor fools do. And I should get extra points for multiple cats.

As a point of pride, I would add that I have never dressed in separates that are kind of all the same color (like, say, purples that don’t match). Unless the mismatch was meant to be chic.

15/20… Not yet old enough to have a degree of any sort, and no idea what Ubuntu boxes are. But still, my word I wish there was library school in England (is there?)

15 and in MLIS school.

Do you get more points if you own more than one cat?

I am a freakin library aid in school! It’s so boring! They brag on me and say I do such a great job. Belive me it ain’t easy from cards getting lost, kids not putting the book where they got, so many books being out of order, cards getting lost, and having to put nonfiction books up! ~omg~ It’s what i get for being smart~ p.s They asked me to be a libary aid I did not sign up!!! WOW!! I know!Yeah best bet don’t be a libraian unless you really like books. I am in there everyday and aint readbut like three flippin books. Well thanx for reading this boring commment!

Oh, dang! I scored 19 out of 20 (no PhD). I do have a BA & MA and have been teaching English at the community college level for the last 20 years. I want to change careers! Me, a librarian? I hadn’t thought about it that much, but I do like looking for answers and teaching the students how to use databases.

I just found this reading ALDirect. I got 18–have no idea what a Ubuntu box, but used to have obento all the time in Japan; owned 2 cats that made it to 19 yrs each named Nefertiti and Sappho. Nefer used to read Virginia Woolf–what I wrote my diss on. Have 4 graduate degrees, but proving not to be too useless. I am not obsessive about the cataloging but can find you anything you want–and more because I often think outside boxes. Degrees in Comedy, cinema, popular culture–you got it–all over the place. I taught in college but got caught in the ugly politics; wish I’d gone to library school earlier in my career. And I’m getting at least one new cat soon from my sister who has seven(I’ve tried to encourage her to go librarian but she’s not buying it yet–and her degrees are more useless than mine). Jacques was a Katrina rescue and needs some loving since two of the others beat up on him. And I color code my M$Ms, AND eat them in that pattern–oh have to have the same number of each as well. Yeah a librarian’s life for me.
