hi Digital Divide Network community - at the public library where i work i asked my supervisor if i could change my job title to "public geek." she's a geek herself and laughed approvingly at the suggestion.
she then explained that it's a bit involved changing a job title when you work for a city government, but she said it would be fine if i described myself to the public (and co-workers) as the "public geek." i was hired with a different job title, but my responsibilities truly are those of a public geek, and so i say... i hold these geeks to be self-evident, that all geeks are created equal and that they are endowed by their creator with certain kinds of skills, and that they pursue curiosity in countless ways in order to better serve the public. and for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of our USB Flash drives, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor. phil shapiro, public geek takoma park maryland library (washington dc metropolitan area) -- Phil Shapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.digitaldivide.net/profile/pshapiro http://philsrssfeed.blogspot.com http://www.his.com/pshapiro/stories.menu.html "Wisdom starts with wonder." - Socrates "Learning happens through gentleness." -- Phil Shapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.digitaldivide.net/profile/pshapiro http://philsrssfeed.blogspot.com http://www.his.com/pshapiro/stories.menu.html "Wisdom starts with wonder." - Socrates "Learning happens through gentleness." _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@mailman.edc.org http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
