Linda's Thought of
the Month:
This
month, my thought and animated gif come from my buddy, Frank G.:
Thought:
This is a joke Frank sent me which I just loved and wanted to share with
you all. Boy, can I relate to this:
A Geek
is someone who ...
1. has more e-mail addresses than coins in their pocket
2. has a faint 'monitor tan', but only on their face
3. uses three or more acronyms (URL, CD-RW, MSIE, etc.) in 90+% of their
sentences
4. knows the complete version number of each program they use, but can't
remember their spouse's birthday
5. remembers to run SCANDISK and DEFRAG each day, but forgets to put on
their shoes
6. becomes spellbound at a connectivity problems lecture but can't stay
awake at supper
7. knows the names of all robots in movies produced since they were 5
but doesn't have a clue about Aunt Jane's kids' names
8. can code an HTML page quicker than they can compose a short letter a
friend
9. can recite the specs on any hardware they use but can't tell you
their car's engine size
10. refers to buying groceries as 'upgrading the pantry'
And his
animated gif:
