i kid, i kid. i like thinking about organization and put it into practice when it’s convenient for me. there are things in my life that i like to have organized a certain way: my spices are arranged alphabetically; my clothes are hung in rainbow color in the closet; my desk at work looks like i just started working there because there’s nothing on it. i don’t have an organization plan for everything in my life. for example, i don’t worry about putting a cd in the wrong case. this used to drive dave crazy on road trips, opening the u2 case and finding tom waits (tee hee).
this kind of attention to organization is fine as long as you only deal with librarians in your life because this is all normal to them. to those not in the field of information organization i am probably crazy. for example, i cringed when a non-librarian friend just this week tweeted that his “disorganization is legend.”
i’ll paste here a picture of my spices that i recently uploaded to a social network i belong to, and then i’ll paste the comments i got on the picture. see if you can guess which responses are from librarians.
