Is a hotdog a sandwich?

If we are talking about a hot dog on a bun then technically it is a sandwich.  The first reason is because you could put it on regular bread, and it functions the same way.  The second reason is if a meatball sub is considered a sandwich, what is a hot dog on a bun considered other than a sandwich?

What is an Olympic Sport that doesn’t exist but should?

What is your favorite part of your job?

The best part of my job is not only do I get to work on different projects in the library, but I get to help both professors and students with finding materials they need.

If you could be the best in the world at something, what would it be and why?

The one thing I would want to be the best at is having a base knowledge of every subject.  Even though you may not excel at a specific topic, that knowledge can do a lot of good both in and out of your profession.
