When you stay up all night because you couldn't figure out a problem.

When you're out at a dinner part etc and friends ask you questions about their computer but have nothing further to talk about.

You have more email addresses than pairs of shoes.

I freaking hate it when people (family and friends) ask me anything about their computer

You know you're a computer tech when...

~You twitch every time someone says "hard drive" in reference to their desktop/tower.

~You find yourself wishing for a Combofix for your flu.

~Whenever you explain to someone that "memory = RAM, not hard drive space" you can't help but think of this: http://youtu.be/NdREEcfaihg

~You sometimes imagine yourself as House (as a computer technician instead of a doctor.)

You know you're a computer tech when...

You give you age in Hex because you think in it and it makes you feel younger.

[BryanLee]

Yeah my wife laughs at me and calls me a nerd on a regular basis.

You know your a techy when you forget that U of M Played and who they played!!!

When you wonder what resolution the sky is.



(that's one that invades my thoughts often)

- When you know the real question is "Whats the resolution of the human eye?" and know how to use google to find the answer?

[CRet]

You randomly remember...

"If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,"

part of a limerick and can't get it out of your mind until you "google it".

In case you are wondering this was supposedly written in 1995 by Gene Ziegler.

Useless:

Lol - do you put a jack on one end and a coupler on the other so they snap together?

Or just tie it off like like the Beverly Hillbillies?
