-no cabbages or kings today, though; my apologies to Lewis Carroll.
I work in a front office as the main secretary, and the broad ranging requests I get... I've had to track down a missing baby gerbil, figure out when a wood-carving class met, answer a question of whether rain fell on the earth prior to the Great Flood - you name it, I've probably had it.
Today it included figuring out which genus specie of fig tree was the biblical one and how tall they grow (ficus carica and 30', if you wanted to know) and if it's possible to make gummy candy at home.
I'm an information geek; I like to know how to do things or what they mean or how they work. The internet and libraries (to say nothing of bookstores) are my friends - particularly this site, which is a gathering site for used bookstores around the world. I've found all kinds of incredible deals on books there...
Is it any wonder I'm paranoid I'll have a child that doesn't want to learn?

Interesting quote, in light of the fact that I was just typing about Alice in Wonderland in my post. Thanks for the link. I will visit every day!
