A throwaway comment from my mother when I was eight has defined my entire life: "It's never cool to not know something." I'd been performing ignorance of cricket to seem cool. That mild rebuke turned me into the insatiable infovore I am today.

I took a personality quiz and got "White House Staffer." The first paragraph rings true, but cool under pressure? Anyone who knew me last year would laugh. I'm a procrastinator who can't say no. At least I'd make a decent subordinate, if only good managers existed.
