Don't judge me.

Working in IT has shamelessly outted my closet nerd.
This is an email thread that I recently shared with a co-worker:

Co-worker:  The lost opportunity to shake your hand will haunt my dreams for eternity. I will silence the pain by leaping from my office window. Goodbye cruel world!

Me:  I do not appreciate being mocked.  However, I very well may shake your hand now for that wonderful dramatic performance.

Bravo.
Co-worker: I am scared now cuz I don't know if your joking. =o sorry it's just my humour I don't mean anything by it.
Me:  <html head>
<insert sarcasm here>
Please be my friend...
</end insert sarcasm>
Co-worker: hahaha. ok good. I wanted to make sure... I have met my sarcastic equal. btw that's the worst html I've ever seen. (not sarcastic)

Co-worker:  If by equal you mean superior, then yes you have.  Okay, Mr. Techie... if you invent a better html code that allows for sarcastic expression then you will be worthy of a handshake.

Co-worker:  Hmm ... sarcastic html tag... let's see... how about <KimberlyIsCool></KimberlyIsCool>
XD <-- that's me laughing very hard at that... hehehe.. I slay me
Me:  <kurtsdead>
>:{ ==B XD That's me about to punch you for that comment. </kurtsdead>

I also just told Sharl a lame joke.  He didn't laugh.

I'm guess I really am just a nerd...
...in a cuter outfit.
