so I was out with some folk from work and one of the girls - her husband is an IT person and all the other IT guys socialise by playing networked games and eating crap on a friday after work. Oh Boy, what a life!!! Those are Geeks, she said. i'd forgotten all about that term - i'm not into labelling people.
However, for the occasion i'm afraid i'm going to have to label the new flatmate. Yup, put him into a box, stereotype him.
He's a GEEK!! Through and through! (glad i have other flatmates to communicate with).
Not only does this guy hide in his room to play XBox games, or spend too much money on a massive TV (we don't mind) and appear to make a point of collecting remote controls for all his useless systems, but he's also IT teacher in high school. Head of the department and in charge of all gadgets, big and small.
So why am i bothered? i'm not really, except that there seems to be a small percentage of people who grate on my nerves and he's one of them. At least if I have a reason for it then i don't appear so heartless.
Yup, i think that's it. My excuse :)
Maybe I'll become more accepting of his annoying habits over time (I've already got him to rinse the sink properly after he shaves)
