Pure Nerd 69 % Nerd, 26% Geek, 39% Dork |
For The Record: A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions. You scored better than half in Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd. The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful. Congratulations! THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST |

Morning panic
I wrote an email to my boss one night (when extremely pissed, of course) having a right old go at him, ending the email with "you are a cunt". I pressed send, and it sat there for a while, then came back with an unable to send message. Not realising my good fortune at this point, I stubbornly pressed send again, but the fates saved me once again.
I had my onosecond when I came too the next morning, and ran downstairs to check the PC. What a relief when I realised that it hadn't been sent. I tried sending a test email and it worked fine. I am now a religious man.

I blew well over 3 years
failing to get a PhD in - The use of nanoelectronic devices in single instruction multiple device / multiple instruction multiple device architectures for image processing applications.
It was far, far duller than it sounds.

Watching his Boundin' short on The Incredibles dvd made me appreciate how much I love animation, and how beautiful it is

My mate leaving work
While talking to my mum and telling her that my mate was leaving work and moving away (our desks were next to each other) and thinking how crap and depressing my job would be, I started bawling like some kind of small child

» I just don't get it
ron
Fellow programmer / techie at work (but 20 years my elder). He says "this is really difficult because blah blah" or "we can't / shouldn't do this because blah blah" or "this is really complicated because blah blah" and as soon as he gets to the blah bit I drift off, then he starts laughing Dr. Hibberd fashion, and I always feel obliged to grin rather than argue with him. Even though I always disagree and do things my way anyway. I certainly don't get him, or what he is laughing about.
