Geek, Nerd, Dork.... They're all just names in the end. Just be yourself and be happy being yourself. That's all that matters.

IT people love to call themselves geeks don't they... The word 'geek' is growingly as useless as 'hacker', 'inevitable', or 'terrorist'... just whatever people want to associate them with and use in their own self-serving fashion.

I do not consider myself a 'geek'. I knew some geeks in school, I am not one. I may consider myself a moron for being so engrossed in systems, but that does not make me a geek. I am more proud to say that I am not an IT person, nor do I seek a 'professional' job doing IT 'work'.

There are a lot of really intelligent, qualified people who can do the jobs better than most hired halfwits.. that are unemployed because others in 'IT' play the bullshit game better. Take many admins for example...

It's all about individual definitions of words. What one person thinks is a geek, another may not. What one person thinks if loserific (mmm, yea) another person may view if being wickedly cool.

Geeks are cool. I spent my entire childhood on a computer. Its kind of sad. I was always labled as a geek but now I get tons of cash. Being a geek has perks later in life. Athough I have no girlfriend.

Ahhh, yes... those wonderful perks like working in a highly volatile industry, never knowing when you're next paycut will come... always praying that you'll survive the next round of layoffs... doing the work of five people just so you can remain employed... and the wonderful stereotypes, like "wealthy virgin who has no social skills". You mean those perks?

What do you do for a living where you make all this money?
