I was, perhaps, insufficiently geeky.

Cataloguing and classifying may have a certain bibliogeek chic to them, but I have spurned Scott Walker’s demands and chosen the best of both worlds. As I mentioned a few weeks back, I was until last week seconded to work on the systems side of the library. Following a successful application and interview, I am, as of today, permanently assigned to the techy side of things. Job title and money are the same but I have shifted desks, which proves it’s a different job. Unix, XSLT, SQL, HTML – with MARC21 and DDC thrown in for good measure. Hurrah for acronyms. Not including BOFH, of course
