Title: What makes you say "Yeah, I'm a geek"
Post by: jsbradley7 on Tue, 19 May 2015, 20:02:48
Had to run out to get a longer usb cable for my Pure Pro and pulling out of the parking lot the dj announces the next song.  "Gooey" by the Glass Animals.

What flashed in my mind wasn't gooey but gui. Yeah, I'm a geek.

I work for the USPS and travel between the office and DMUs. At one of the DMUs, there's a machine with a Cherry GH80-11900 attached and I've been coveting it since the first day I saw it.  Hopefully when they phase the machine out I'll be allowed to have the Cherry.

This could also just be a symptom of getting old. I have no desire to go out on Fridays and Saturdays anymore, whereas in my 20s I had FOMO.

Then you see 50 year olds out when you do actually go and realize you'll get FOMO again at some point in your life.

Then you see 50 year olds out when you do actually go and realize you'll get FOMO again at some point in your life.
Other than material goods I've never really had the FOMO, in my teens I was busy gaming although I guess it would have been the FOMO on double exp and such lol
I've never actually had a desire to go out to social areas like bars and such since I just always found it less fun than everyone said it'd be and it just seems like a lot of work and a waste of money.
