So for those of you who aren’t geeks, check it out.

Since I have absolutely no artistic talent, I’m using stripgenerator so you won’t be subjected to crudely drawn stick figures (it’s been done to death anyway), plus I can just bust out with an idea without over thinking it.

Here’s my first attempt:

I do a fair bit of fixing-random-computer shit for people I know.  I enjoy helping out humans but they almost always say stuff like “wow, how do you people do it?” or “How did you learn to do that?” etc.  All valid questions that I don’t mind answering, the problem is that most of the time they don’t really care what the answer is so they just glaze over, nod and sometimes pick out key buzzwords to ask about.  I probably do the same thing when talking to a mechanic about my car.

One thing I have noticed is that when I refer to myself as a Geek to a normal human, they seem to think it’s some sort of derogatory term.

I think the word Geek belongs to us (Geeks), so if you’re a Geek you can call yourself and other Geeks a Geek.  But it could be rude depending on the tone, for a normal human to refer to you as a Geek (or for you to call a normal human a Geek).

Hmm..  I shall continue to ponder this.

Although, I did notice today that whenever I go into a bank the 4-5 people already at the tellers take a reeeealy long time to finish their transactions, then once they go everyone else is in and out lickety split.  Seems to happen to me all the time.

Both developers could use some sleep though.

Fun.
