Yikes! A post from Dan on a Tuesday? Is he releasing a new book?
No, I do post on Tuesday during Linda G. Hill’s Just-Jot-It-January challenge, but I try to keep it brief.
Stop laughing! I can be brief. I mean, it’s possible. It doesn’t happen very often, but…
Today’s JusJoJan prompt is Pernickety given to us by Ritu at But I Smile Anyway. At first, I thought this was a typo, but Pernickety is a word and it means what I thought Ritu meant to post – persnickety, in other words, “fussy; paying undue attention to minor details; fastidious.”
My first thought was Cats. My second thought was the memory of a man I once worked for, especially the ‘undue attention to minor details” part — he was the Crown Prince of minor details. I’d share a story, but, you know, brief.
I will share a story about my college professor for analytic chemistry. The subject itself called for attention to details, but he often went over the top. His favorite joke was shared each time he announced an exam. He would say: “You may bring one sheet of paper, on which you can write down formulas and constants. Feel free to write on all six sides of the page.” Today’s featured photo is Clark Hall, a.k.a. the Chemistry building.
Today is the day members of the Orthodox Church celebrate The Nativity of Christ. For all those who celebrate, I’m wishing you a wonderful day — Christ is Born! Glorify Him!
