So one can be beaconistic in the eyes of the O&M community, without being beaconistic in the eyes of ones employer. Well, I think I can safely say that today I haven’t been beaconistic in anyones eyes.

I suspect that putting in time googling up the meaning of silly words while I should be getting on with my proper work would not score a lot of points unless it counts as initiative, entrepreneurial flair and willingness to provide additional services not listed in my job description.

Would it be a proper use of beaconicity to say that you have shown great beconicity by figuring out (googling) the origin and meaning of beaconicity?

You just need to know that there is a Beacon Scheme in Britain to give out awards to local council that are outstanding (beacons) in efficiency or something.
