Geek of the Week is a prize of extreme status. It is not given weekly nor is it limited to one a week. It is reserved for the person or group of people so dedicated to their mission that they do or say something with such enthusiasm that even people with the same mission notice the hilariousness. Bystanders simply think they are speaking a foreign language or utter nonsense. It is to be reserved for true enthusiasm. It is an award to be highly regarded.

Another day in the library. For once there were very few customers...perhaps it was before we opened. A clerk brought a book to the big boss and said, "Is this title miscataloged?" She took the title in hand and said, "Hmm, this is so much more a 793 than a 392." Now, for you sticklers, I may misremember the exact numbers...the point is that she is so wrapped up in her vocation - she can casually reference the Dewey decimal system in her discussion of a book topic. I'm pretty sure she can casually reference the system in relation to any topic in her everyday conversations. Commitment.
Geek of the week to the max.
