Beware Of Geeks And Engineers

Spurred by a conversation about a coworker's in law who is getting a PhD in Celtic languages (the scorn flowed from those who know him and those who don't ), I wrote the following on Anner's board:

"Engineers: Yea Or Nay? Geekery: Science Or Humanities? Yea Or Nay?"

This horror story brings shivers to us all.

Oh. My. God.

That's kind of the uber-engineer. Can logic himself into ANYTHING.

Wow. Didn't you have acquaintances through your ex that were into that sort of thing? Also, I am now curious who deleted their comment here...

drwende said...

I did, Genevieve. I'd written essentially the same thing as my posted comment but didn't like how I'd phrased it.

Ick. I've had the opportunity to observe an acquaintance in a semi-open relationship. It's...awkward.
