They Don’t Get It

Kristen responds to yesterday’s entry:

One day I went to lunch with my IT friend Mike. Unbeknownst to me, we joined several of his IT friends in the cafeteria. My initial reaction was to grab my tray and run in the opposite direction as I faced a table full of dudes who got their haircuts from Stevie Wonder. However, knowing I hadn’t done any charity work since Christmas I smiled and joined their Star Wars obsession and their cult-like belief in Bill Gates. I truly was reaching down into my depths of geekdom to add to their conversation.

And then it started, the IT jokes started flying. “Did you hear the one about the 178sonybluetoothblackberrysniffer?” What! They all started laughing and speaking this funny language that only an alien could understand. I sat there wondering the last time any of them got laid.

Then Mike invited me to his IT party on Friday. I politely told him I needed to check with my husband and will get back to him. Unfortunately Mike, my husband’s cousin’s sister’s brother’s friend might stop by on Friday and we need to be home - in case he swings by. Maybe next time.
