I'm a Geek and Proud of It
I've always considered myself as a geek. I mean I love technology and the latest cool gadget(i have a hate relationship with it as well....but that's another story)
From my first Tandy Color Computer I learned BASIC programming. I wrote a silly bank ATM simulation which my then girlfriend actually thought I was withdrawing $1000.00 from a strangers account!
Years later I find myself working for a on-site computer repair company called 'Geeks On Call' - i know...cool name ;-)
I learned the ins and outs of hardware, OS's (Windows Vista just was released then), networking, virus & spyware...etc. The unusual thing is my position was a call center supervisor and never even touched a customers computer.
I'll never forget that 11pm prank call from a girl who claimed to have 6 fingers.
During the call she fake sobbed and said she hated being called a 'geek'.
We told her "but...It's good to be a geek!" LOL!!
I like to find out how gadgets work. I even took apart my camcorder (circuit board and all) and put it back together. And yup...it worked great!
It's good to be a geek!
