Your answer to 12 is what I think I meant :)
{LOL} I'm *not* unique then :) Do you ever feel that you *have* to be a realist because no-one else in the room is and nothing is getting done?
I work with engineers - it's all theoretical around here. I'm an engineer's worst nightmare - a dose of reality :)
Gee are they worse than academic cataloguers ???? Wow !!!!
Similar - engineers probably know more Trek and Star Wars stuff, and could probably kick a cataloguer's butt at WoW....
Guaranetted !!!!! Some of my cataloguers know the minutiae of the cataloguing rules inside out but that is all they do. They futz around all day trying to get each record as perfect as can be, sometimes taking all day to do one record and then then they go home and sleep and then come back to work again. Some of these people have *no* outside interests at all in their lives.
talk about taking attention to detail to an extreme! I guess that's why I'm not an engineer or a cataloger!
No I think its a combination of a personality type and an extremely insular longterm working and home lifestyle. After all *I'm* a cataloguer as is my supervisor. But we have worked in other areas, and have outside interests ....
