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 Strip

Well this Unshelved comic strip just cracked me up!
Not only because it is funny - but because I have considered this as an alternate plan to trying to live on a librarian's pay.

If you are unfamiliar with the comic, it is a daily strip about life in a public library. The manager, reference librarian, young adult librarian and children's librarian deal with all sorts of issues concerning patrons, budgets and each other. Most of the time, the authors are right on. If most of my friends didn't already read this strip - I'd be forwarding it to them all the time.

Dewey definitely wins Geek of the Week for his attempt to remain in his profession despite the seemingly inevitable pay scale.

Work for books, indeed.
