Its official…I’m a geek
Despite the fact that I have a degree in Economics, aside from the fact that for the past two years I have been addicted to World of Warcraft, never mind the fact that I own more computer equipment replacement parts than shoes (so sad for any female), and forget the fact that I used to co-own an internet company….yesterday I officially received my geek acceptance letter.
I enrolled and started an online SQL course through the local college. For those of you who don’t know what SQL is…don’t ask me to explain it, I just started the class. All I know is, never before have I felt so intimidated to carry my purple purse around. It’s like the ultimate symbol of all things not technologically advanced (in a geeks opinion) and somehow in one day it made my IQ drop 50 points. Overnight I became the ’Legally Blonde’ of technology by trying to become a programmer/DBA (database administrator…told you I was a geek).
I’ll keep you posted with my progress through this six-week course. It’s got 12 lessons and I’m going to continue to refer to it as my 12 step program and wear my high heels.
~Cheers
