Okay, so we have this student semi-interning with us. She's not all that, um, intelligent or, um, interesting; but she's our bridge student, so we love her.
So she comes in today wearing a "I <3 Nerds" shirt. My co-worker says "OMG, I <3 That shirt!!11!! I have a sticker JUST LIKE IT." NERD, it says. Now, I DO like my co-worker, but those two just the other day had a conversation about how they don't understand video games in the slightest and are heavily annoyed with those who play them. They're both still on AOL or MSN and I'm quite sure have never talked to an actual nerd for more than 5 minutes of their life.
You know, I'm juuust fine with wearing T-shirts about being a mechanic name Jesus, and other various things that have no connection to real life. But could you at least know the definition of the word you're emblazoning across your chest? I mean, it's only four letters, it can't be hard. I'm okay with you being vacuous and superficial and all, but you please not associate my favorite group of social outcasts with your inane lifestyle and social butterfly proclivities?
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to spend the next four hours not talking to humans and getting a monitor tan.
