Sort of

There doesn't seem to be any interesting way to phrase this, so I'll just out with it: this is a blog about organization. Now before you write this off as some sort of strange librarian thing, this obsession with cataloguing everything under the sun, consider what you have sorted today. You may have sorted things as mundane as laundry or bills. On the other hand, you may have sorted people or (dare I hope?) books. Like many, most of my day is spent sorting the former. However, as I am a strange librarian, I get a kick out of the latter; I enjoy classifying things that one may not typically classify. So, I issue a challenge. No, that sounds a bit too confrontational. I issue a request: that you send your items for classification. Let me know what interests you and I'll organize it. Or, if you tend to wax confrontational, try to stump me.

I cannot promise that I'll be completely serious, but rest assured that I'll take each suggestion seriously. I will create a record for each item and will expound (likely to great extent) on the various tags that I've applied.

I won't pretend that organization is a war, but to quote Marcus Aurelius, "The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious." But who am I to categorize your definition of organization? Oh. I am a librarian who loves this stuff.
