Bob's a Nerd, His friends are Nerds, Won't i wanna be a Nerd too? No! Well maybe...

I think I sorta did a bad thing. When I first met Bobby I felt like I had to compensate for my lack of beauty so I told him I was smart. Who the hell knew he was dumb enough to believe me. Yeah Bobby I’ve thrown every strategic game we’ve ever play because I just like boosting your ego…

 

But for 11 years I’ve been able to fake it. That is, until now. So I’m mouthing off, Shocking huh? And I tell Bobby he should teach me how to fix computers, ask he’s new boss to give me a internship, since to know me is to love me. after the internship, he'll beg me to stay. They do a lot of remote work so it’s a plausible plan. I’ll do this, I’ll do my seminars, I’ll get the other Mio job I really want and everything will be good. (I really don't need to sleep juliebeth!) 

 

Ok, here’s what I thought. Bobby would try to work with me a few evenings but between, dinner, biking, Nicholas’ school, Nicholas’ cubs, Nicholas cce, Nicholas’ drum lessons, and the fall tv season, it just won't happen. And I could blame him when he has another crappy gift birthday. (his birthday is right after Christmas and Nicholas’ birthday so he usually gets a homemade “coupon”. Very cute the first year I did it, not so much now…)

 

But if he got a coupon this year, it'll be his own damn fault. Because I begged him 4 months ago to share his knowledge but he blew me off. Damn, maybe I won't even give him a coupon this year. How could he blow me off. Stuck up computer nerd, kiss my…

 

Oops, There goes another plan up in smoke. Bobby left a book on my desk this morning. A very thick book. I’m sure I had the same look of disgust Nicholas had when I gave him the third Harry Potter. There’s a lotta pages.

 

“Windows XP Operating Systems.” And there’s a bonus. There’s even a test. oh yay! Yay yay freakin yay! I was kinda hoping for more of a hands on approach, Bobby, me, fondling the keyboard. But a book would require reading and thinking. That’s just, like work and shit.

 

And, here’s the kicker, my husband has said a hundred times “I just can't learn that stuff from a book.” But I can? Whatever! Freak.

 

You know I could be a grown up about this, and just open the book. If I can lift the cover, or I can just procrastinate til I get my part time gig and accidentally spill a Coke on the book. Working is so overrated!

 

but Yes I will. Just to prove to him I truly suck at all of my employment endeavors. Won't it be hysterical when I apply for a job with him and he has to say “you’re not qualified!”

 

For those of you who know me, you know I’m just writing to say I wrote all day for you know after I post this, I will be tempted to learn px, xs, fx… what the hell was it. Oh, XP. That’s like a program for adobe right?

 

Good thing I’m so adorable…
