As if the world (or my family) needed more evidence...

[avanta7]

...of my complete geekitude.

Exhibit A:

The other day at work, while assisting another claims representative during an interview, the client used the word "assimilate". I couldn't help myself.

"Resistance is futile," said I. The client and my colleague gave me a puzzled look.

"You will be assimilated," I continued. The client and my colleague looked even more confused.

"Star Trek reference," I clarified. "Never mind." The client nodded his head and went on describing his medical problems. My colleague looked utterly blank and kept typing. I went back to my desk.

Exhibit B:

My sister sent me an Amazon gift card for Christmas. Today I used it to purchase this:


Blade Runner 5-Disc Ultimate Collector's Edition

Never mind that I already have the original version on VHS, and the Director's Cut on DVD. My husband just shook his head in disbelief. My sister told me I was weird.

Ayup. Insert geekhood here.

It just shows that your coworkers are cave dwellers. Even my 10 year old, who has yet to see a Star Trek movie/show knows who the Borg are and that resistance is futile.

Hm. I think I need to remedy his lack of ST watching. He's a big fan of Babylon 5 and Farscape though. :D

Clearly, some of us know how to raise our children right. ;)

Besides that, they have no sense of humor. At least, no sense of my humor. No sense of the absurd at all.
