Need Help
-
I'm currently off work at the moment due to sickness. Every time I eat I feel crap and throw up. Anyway I just couldn't take any more day time t.v. It's been two weeks and two courses of anitbiotics so far, so I'm crawling the walls abit. So I think I know I'll just mess about on the computer for a bit. A couple of hours later I find myself with my trusty throwing up bowl at my feet coming up from using it and continuing to type code for the gui on my next project and thinking "Oh crap NO !!!! I'm a geek" I've been suspecting this was coming on for the last few years. There have been tell tale signs like knowing the answers to questions that I shouldn't really know the answers to and watching documentaries and stuff. Is there a course I can go on to get rid of this impending geekiness ( the denial is already sinking in ) or some sort of pill I can take or is this like the totally wrong place to even ask?

We had a guy in to fix our network last week. I swear he was right out of a Far Side comic strip. Big round pudgy face with glasses and short messy hair. He was a young guy early to mid twenties maybe, and he explained what was the matter with our network with all the zeal of someone who had just counquered a small country. He dropped more obscure techno-jargon in that 60 seconds than I'd heard all year. I actually think he was surprised that we didn't say "Wow! That's amazing! I can't believe how smart you are!" Personally I found it quite a struggle not to burst out laughing. Instead I just remarked, "What ever you just said there... Good job." I doubt very much you're more of a geek than him.

Oh, I don't know... A trip to a local pub usually works for me :) Especially if I happen to find an attractive person of the opposite sex who shows interest. or if you are involved, a quiet date with your SO works too. nothing liek that for washing away that geeky feeling. other options? Spend an afternoon watching football like non-geeks do. Memorize the stats for your favorite baseball team. Go to a tractor pull :) Mark

(Muhahahahahaha!!!) :suss: No point in looking for help, Anthony. Geeks are patient. Even if you haven't completely crossed over, you won't be long. We'll be waiting for you.

> he explained what was the matter with our network with all the zeal of > someone who had just counquered a small country Nah, he's no geek, he's still a wannabe. Geeks don't get excited when they manage to fix some silly little network problem...that's too common. ;P
