Your Sins Are Outdone

Let me begin by pronouncing this week's word: SCIOLISM. It comes to us from the labyrinth-y mind of K_Sra who wants us to Learn Something New (almost) Everyday. I'm not gonna front. I had to look up SCIOLISM in order to participate this week. I think if I acted as though I were intimately familiar with the term when I am not that would be an example of SCIOLISM, sort of...right? Like a superficial show of knowledge...right? Hey, I am all about that! I sit at a Reference desk acting like I KNOW STUFF! I get up in front of groups of people and act like I should be there. SCIOLISM is my job!

I wasn't sure what photos would truly represent SCIOLISM. Please. Admit it was hard for you too. Or if it wasn't maybe pretend so I won't feel the burning shame of failure. Oh man. Okay, take a look:

Here are a couple fellows who have a genuine skill set and are experts in a specific field. If something needs to be maintained, they are there! And when you ask them a question about sticky locks or flickering lights, they can give you a complete and competent answer. No SCIOLISM here. They're the real deal, as I see it

Here we have, well, me. Working my magic. Totally talking out mah butt for a few laughs or smiles...or no angry cries. Like I said, a superficial show of knowledge, SCIOLISM, is what I get paid for. Does that not totally kick ass?

And yes, I agree, there is way too much butt and ass in this post. So sue me. But before you do, check out everyone's SCIOLISM post...did I reach the most, honestly? Nevermind. Just go find out from K_Sra who is up next and have SCIOL-tastic day!

Sciolism is your life, but then again, I have a feeling you do know a lot for real. My job was also a practice in Sciolism. Good pictures, and you're right, quite a bit of butt and ass. Luckily there are no plumbers in the crowd.

That photo of you working your magic is awesome! Is that your reading group?

You're not alone, I had a hard time thinking up a photo for this word. But finally thought up somethin'.

This was such a hard word... You did great.

I love your photos. I couldn't think of any to use, so I opted out. Thanks for succeeding where I failed.

AlienCG: Sciolism is kind of fun :-) Sorry again about all the bums...but yeah you give credit where credit is due. haha!

Tara: Thanks, that was one of my programs from last summer I think. If I recall correctly we were singing a song.
I liked your take on the word!

NoRegrets: Thank you very much. I liked yours too!

Churlita: I think you were too busy having a kickass weekend to ponder sciolism. You did manage to post some pretty awesome photos anyway :-)

You did good. I realized only after picking it how hard it would actually be. :P But are you all coming to expect anything less from a woman who's blog is named "learn someting new?" I mean, seriously! :)

I think Alien is probably right. It's hard to admit the fount of wisdom you slowly become after a long time in some field. I still have a hard time confessing myself knowledgeable, because there is so much more I could learn, and don't!

K_Sra: I totally enjoyed working it out :-) And I found it rather pleasurable to think of myself as a professional sciolist! Thanks for the fun.
