Depends on the day...depends on the day.
Besides being a geek pays better then the average wage slave,
so you can't argue with that.
Is it time to go home yet?

HEY! I am not a geek. I refuse to be a geek. I refuse to be associated
with the word geek. Just becuase I spend 90% of my workday during the
off season monitoring list traffic from a list about a magic/cyberpunk
role-playing game does NOT mean I am a . . . .

Oh shoot

Sorry, some of my players are on vacation so the game is on hold. I am
sure I will have some more flame war inspiring questions once they get back
and the game starts to roll. :)

Personally, I prefer 'intellectually and technologically-inclined'. :)

Although I think 'geek' beats 'nerd'. :)

parents. Now who on this list fits that description... I spy with my

Yeah, but you don't count as either employed or unemployed. It should now
be 5 unemployed geeks, 3 employed geeks, and 1 at school geek.
