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.

Geek of the Month

My pal, mentor and former boss, Lesa, gets the big "Geek of the Week" nod today as not only was she mentioned BY NAME in an on-air radio book review but she was also awarded "Employee of the Month" for her entire library system. True "Geek" that she is, the mere nomination blindsided her. Imagine her shock when she was awarded the honor. I, on the other hand, read her nomination nodding and "yep"ping all the way through.

This August will mark 2 years since Lesa took the job in Arizona and since I've seen her. We've been out-of-sight of each other now almost as long as we were in-sight of each other daily. I miss her.

Her staff is lucky to have such a "Geek" among them and they know it. I was lucky enough to know it, too.
