Almost a Geek

On Tuesday night, I'll take an exam to get my amateur radio technician license. 

I'll be an official geek.

I've been a dork before, and even a nerd (word nerd, not number nerd or science nerd - big difference there!)

I had been thinking of switching to contacts for the first time in my life, but I think that's not allowed if you're a geek. I may have to get some white tape for the middle of my glasses.  Maybe I can dig up a pocket protector from my husband's college days.

Yes, honey, I know.  They were very practical.

I'm studying today, so I can pass that test.  I've passed every practice test I've taken, but that's not good enough.  I told DH I'd keep studying and testing until I got a 100%.  In fact, I told him I wouldn't go to bed until I did.  Once, I got only one wrong.  Last test = 5 wrong.  I just drank a Mountain Dew.

I'm going to take a snow shoveling break here soon.  I need to counteract the fudge I've been snitching all day.  I should've told DH not to use the snow blower. Had I shoveled all six or seven inches of the white stuff, I probably could've eaten half the pan.  (Wait, I think I did!)

    I have never used a pocket protector! I have never owned a pocket protector! I have not even wanted a pocket protector!

      I have a very clear memory of this.  You did.  It was just when you were working at Hardee's.  Maybe it came with the uniform?
