if this is true i think how perfect programming is for married people...



i think i have pretty good social skills and my wife and i do things all the time. however, she can't understand how i can work all day long programming and still come home and continue to program... what can i say i love it!

Mine is the same way dklingman!!! I spend 8+ hours a day on a computer at work, come home, fire up the laptop, and away I go again!! The worse issue is that I have more stuff for coding at home than I do at work!

How the hell can you do that? You must love it more than me. I get home from work and just chill out with my gf or housemates and watch a film or something. But with me I enjoy programming etc.. but if there is a opportunity to do something else im generally off like a shot :]

oh believe me if there's something else to do we do it, but if we just are sitting at home doing nothing, i'm programming. well, unless i feel like playing the xbox or she feels like playing rock band :P

For me, she is not interested in anything that I like, so we sit on the couches, and watch tv. I pull up my computer, and either log in here, or work on a Java program that I am writing. Plus, until next week, there has been a huge lack of funds available to go out and do anything.

i def went to school with kids who would fail this class, hardcore. learning how to flirt through text messages seems a little over the top to me.... i mean, how hard is it to text some hot broad that u want to see some tator tots sometime. that would be considered flirting, right?? :P

I thought that was limited to kids that listen to Rammstein and play video games all day and then go to the local High School and oh wait that is something else nevermind.


:lol: Luckily for gamers, Rammstein and video games were combined at one point. The battle with Tidus' father from Final Fantasy X featured Rammstein's Otherworld...

And yeah...B9 hit it dead-on.

However, I think my life would be a lot better if I had social skills. Hell, even in Marching Band, I'm the only geek in my section...and I pay for it. :unsure:

Isn't lack of social skills all part of the geek mystique?


ever watched the comedy show The Big Bang Theory, here in the states, funny show but perfect example of how we've been labeled.


GREATEST SHOW EVER! Except not all computer nerds are Indian. :lol: But that show is goddamn funny. 10/10 easily. Plus...Kaley Cuoco is just plain hot.

You know, now that I think of it.. I actually question my own social skills.. I say they're pretty good, but then I take a look at all of my friends.. Aahh fuck... :blink:
