Cubicles Have Ears, Too
posted on Friday, May 26, 2006 @ 3:35 pm
Okay, it’s final. As much fun it is having your cubicle around tech people so you could enjoy their frequent geek talks, computer guys officially freak me out. Freak the shit out of me, even — and literally, considering I had to go to poop when I started to type the entry. </too much information>
Back in the days when I was still doing my A-Levels in the UK, there was this computer guy named Sam a.k.a. only remembered his name because of my old blog post and his whatever his name was, too lazy to look up buddy, who always walked past me with creepy smiles (the guy-equivalent girlish giggles?) as if they knew all my dirty little secrets. And they well did. Ever since that particular incident, I’ve been rather sceptical about computer guys as normal people, as non-weirdos.
For the past half a year, the two computer guys from work had proven my mistrust nonsensical. They were warm, easy to get along, fun people who didn’t seem to be anything like Sam and his buddy. But then there’s always but then; I completely forgot that they’re still computer guys, that computer guys have all your surfing logs.
“Lean forward?” one of them said to the other as he glanced over at his fellow colleague’s screen during lunch.
Riiight.

I’m pretty sure I got confused by that post.
.
I know a lot of computer guys and some of them act like the two computer guys from your work. Never met one like Sam yet. He sounds creepy…lol.

Hey! Nice site
Lmao, you’re so funny. I don’t know, I never really been around computer guys before.

I think computers guys also double as nerds and everyone knows that nerds can be creepy sometimes because they’re socially inept!
Nice layout!

Omg! Geeks/nerds piss me off pretty bad sometimes. If I have to sit through one more unfunny nerdy joke….

Well…in the defense of computer geeks, they have social skills as well…just not in the normal sense. Sometimes its best not to converse with them with normal social skills in mind…it’s a whole different world with a different lingo altogether.
It’s just an acquired love/hate thing I guess.

Those guys sound pretty weird. Run away
. I’m not sure what you call computer guys. Not sure if I met any.

I’m pretty much a computer girl myself, and I think nerdy guys are cute. But then, if the same had happened to me, that guy’s head would have been cut off.

Eep! The computer guys! Well, I always some how find myself drawn to them in some way. I guess maybe because I can relate to them or something. But… they just get way too weird if you get way too nice with them. And I’m just a naturally nice person. Dunno, just never had any good experiences with nerdy men myself. *shrug*

oh my. how terrible. i’d hate to have bad publicity, people talking about you behind your back, and you don’t even know them! :/

Wow, that sounds creepy,
. I would’ve freaked out if I were you, too.

Hanging in a cubicle around techie computer guys is fun until you realize you are the only female in the department and you suddenly became the sheep to the wolf pack.
Trust me, I’ve seen it many times, its not good. Don’t think being a lesbian makes you safe either

hmm. Not all of us tech geeks are that way. Though when several are in close proximity (i.e. an IT department) things can get scary.
