I am wearing my lovely new Linux Chix shirt today. I earned this as a sign that I am a true geek in training. Unfortunately, according to the following criteria, I am only a white trash geek. Maybe someday, I will be given an upgrade. 1. First touched a computer that had Windows 3.1 (well after Windows 95 came out). 2. Had to go to a friend's house or computer lab to fulfill their addiction for over a year. 3. Was way too happy when they discovered there is an alternative to Windows (danced with joy and wanted to kiss a penguin, devil, or bee). 4. No one believes that they know a darned thing about computers because of who they are and where they are from. 5. Inherits geek shirts from other people and wears them proudly. 6. Decides to buy a 6 year old laptop to fulfill that need for a smaller computer. 7. Has 50 new, innovative uses for the aforementioned laptop within 10 minutes of knowing they will receive it. 8. Is willing to forego eating and bathing to pay for a newer laptop someday (coming from a chubby girl who cleans incessantly). 9. Aspires to learn coding from a friend as opposed to paying for classes or a book. 10. If you know me, you can fill in the rest of these criteria yourself. If you think you know me, don't even try *wink*. In honor of bosses day and my wonderful boss, I am updating this page real quick. I haven't been doing updates as frequently as before because, to be quite honest, the impossible has happened. I have a real life *sobs miserably*. Between scaring little children and going to church to repent for scaring little children, I have been quite busy, but someday my load of excess work will be depleted and I can begin annoying you regularly with my ramblings. Jag ar uttrakad. Je vous prie de pardonnez mes langues, mais je voudrais dire les choses dans une autre langue pour m'amuser. Bon nuit! So here I am--another exciting day of work for me. Oddly, I love my job. Not many other people seem to remotely like theirs around here. Sounds like a top ten list. 10. I am crazy. Yeah, that one was too obvious. 9. Microfiche are so much fun to play with. And I was informed that they would make pretty spiffy stained-glass windows. 8. I like being abnormal, so liking this job fulfills the requirements for it. 7. I am in a library, and all the books are talking to me in Greek and I understand *cheer*. 6. Some of my co-workers are more entertaining than me. 5. Three words: magical candy jar. 4. Where else do you get to play with cards (fiche) all day, except in Las Vegas or Atlantic City. Here, I don't have to worry about irate customers. 3. Barcodes look kind of like psychedelic hippie clothes early in the morning. 2. I get my own tape dispenser, so if I get too bored I can tape someone to the wall. 1. If you make enough strange noises to yourself, you can convince yourself that anything is a video game. *beep* *beep* *click* *bop* *bang* WHAT IS AN ETD? 10. Everett's Tipsy Dog 9. Everyone's Twisted Dope 8. Electronic Thesis/Dissertation 7. Edible Text Documents 6. Edgar's Tremendous Diary 5. Extinct Terrible Dinosaurs 4. Extra-Terrestrial Diet 3. Entertaining Throwing Disk 2. Engineering Thought Design 1. Everything Tumbling Down Such a question and so many good answers. Will we ever know? Well, I don't have much to say. Besides I want to go play with my new toys. Oh wait, I do have a message for you after all: And if you go, I promise you will get to see me. You'll just have to pick me out *wink* if you aren't too afraid of what I look like. TOP TEN REASONS WHY THE MICROFICHE LOVE ME 10. I am so darn cute. 9. I let them see the light of day. 8. One word: barcodes. 7. They like wearing my handwriting on their clothes. 6. Chester Cheetah told them to. 5. I have great hair--beats WVU's coke by far. 4. My cute little nose makes them feel happy. 3. I am the first person who has shown interest in them in a long time. 2. Bob, the hedgehog, is their hero and he likes me. 1. My great personality. |
