    Today I'm a nerd because at practice today, we were fencing Monkey Island style - insult sword fighting! I'm also learning to dual-wield rapiers. Historic fencing is so much more fun than sports fencing.

    Sorry. Beep beep beep.

    You do not qualify for nerd status. Beep beep beep.

    Your reply is way too cool. Beep. Beep. Beep.

    <end transmission>

    I just love the "Okapi" username, one of my favorite animals <3

    Today I am a nerd because I spent the entire day trying to get Robot Framework to stop telling me my user was logged out every time it opened a new window in a test.

    Or perhaps it makes me not a nerd because I still failed :grumble:

    today i'm a nerd because my four year old son drew a picture. no, that's not the reason. it's because of what the picture was of.

    it was the Doctor and his TARDIS. I've made my son a Whovian.

    fanTAStic!

    Perhaps it makes me the worst employee ever rather than a nerd but today, I spent about half my time at work playing the Game of Thrones game on Facebook. Oops... :embarassed:

    I was happy when my pedometer said I'd burned exactly 256 calories, though I'd have preferred 512...

    Last night I dreamed I was going to be late to a wedding because my husband kept getting sidetracked trying to fix his watch, and The Doctor swooped in with his TARDIS at the last minute and assured me he'd get me there on time :) I stepped in, and woke up.

    Similar situation today - we were doing fire safety training today and the guy doing the course claimed that the carbon dioxide extinguishers "reach - 37° C - that's absolute zero in Kelvin!" aaaaargh.

    I'm wearing this shirt today, and have been dragging unsuspecting coworkers into a windowless office and turning the lights off so they can see the hidden picture.

    It'll be a miracle if I don't get reported to HR.

    I'm a nerd today because I just bought tickets to see Alton Brown... in the meet & greet / poncho zone! AB has been my idol for years, so, MAJOR fangasm!! As an added bonus, he loves the Doctor. Win/win!

    I have sooo many questions about how this is affecting your running, but I'll just say... very cool!
