Geek Squad

Today I had a member of the Geek squad over.  He pulls up in the recognizable Volkswagen and is wearing the complete "Geek uniform"(badge included).  I can't help but wonder who chose the uniform.  The white socks with high-water pants is awesome.
How do I get a job there.  I would never have to worry again about how my outfit looks before I leave home.
Oh yeah, I forgot you have to be a computer whiz.  So I will never be able to have the dream job.
Anyway, so the tech comes in and wants to know what is wrong.  He was just here 10 days ago to set up all my wireless networking. 
 I briefed  him on the problems and he went to work.
He started trying all sorts of things and telling me things I do not understand.  When he is finished, he tried to explain what he had done, "I reconfigured the @#@#@# and downloaded a *&*&*&*&*, and updated the &^%$F#@@ ".  I pretended to completely understand, I even faked a question that seemed to support my great knowledge.  I am not sure he fell for it.  He probably called his "Geek" friends as soon as he was back in the car.  Their conversation probably sounded like this:  "Can you believe she didn't know what a &^*%$@# was?  What planet is she from.  Everyone I know, knows that.
Well I think it is one of my responsibilities to make others feel smart.
The good news is that I can now print from anywhere and it "shouldn't" take hours for the printer to "Que" up.

Even if you're not on the squad, you should still wear the uniform! Talk about irresistable!!

I thought the same thing. Maybe I can talk Randy into making it his work uniform.
