My sister is *not* a scientist. I accept that some anthropologists are, but she sure isn't.

I had a long argument with someone who tried to convince me that I was a scientist, because I had a computer science degree and worked in IT, but I really couldn't convince her I wasn't. I guess I just have some expectations of science work (up to and including experiments) that maybe aren't valid. Having science as a background to what you do doesn't automatically make you a scientist, in my book. Not all doctors or nurses, for instance, are scientists, despite science driving what they do.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Accounting. Never considered for a moment that I was a scientist.

I think anthro/linguistics fall under the umbrella of social sciences, but it's a tough area to pin down. I probably wouldn't consider an economist to be a scientist, for example.

I have almost convinced myself to buy a "pack" of electronic cigarettes.

I've heard good things about them. If I could find a nicotine-free clove blend for them, I'd buy myself one. Because I MISS clove cigarettes. A lot.

My GOD. I'm having such communication problems. He just answers yes to everything, so I have to phrase my questions really carefully, or I'll go away with precisely the wrong impression.

He also has a tendency to default to saying things affirmatively, if there's any wiggle room. So he'll say "It works" even if something fails a test case, because failing the test case was actually executing a given portion of code.

It's so weird. And kind of creepy.

Taking the definition of "yes man" a bit too far?

Heh. I have a Masters in Library Science, but am pretty sure that does not make me a scientist.

I have an MS, and will now insist on being referred to as a scientist. The MS is in nonprofit management.

That makes as much sense as my JD entitling me to be addressed as "Doctor". Heh.

I've heard good things about them.

After traveling last week, quitting looked a lot more attractive.

I just want to be a Doctor of Thinkology.
