I was made to feel like a complete dork by my co-workers

Awww SuLi! Don't be offended -- must be a BIG day when tech dudes can call someone else a dork, so give 'em their little moment. Think of it as charity.

Never been to a comic convention, but dear lordie was I in love with X-Men! Had a decent collection of X-Men comics and I still love my Ultra Fleer '94 & '95 cards. :shame:

Enjoy!

Oooooohhh he is such a neat guy! We got to talk to him at the National Book Festival a few years ago(he read an excerpt from the then-unfinished Anansi Boys, if that tells you how long ago ), and he was the most gracious, polite, nice author there. I'd love to see him again.

Everything I've read about him says he's amazingly nice. I'd love to meet him. Alas!

Neil Gaiman is definitely going to be there, but not on the day that I am going (next Sunday).

I don't work in IT, but my office is next door to where our tech guys live in our suite.

I'm still really excited -- I figure that it'll be really interesting to see the types of people there.

Those IT guys are just jealous because the are still living in their parents basement and their Mom grounded them so they can't go! LOL

Oh snap...I have worked with IT geeks since 1994 and yep they're a different breed . Me & the nerds....

SuLi, I had to chuckle a little at the title of your thread - Simply because we've all had those "I'm a dork" moments in front of co-workers. I can think of a few examples off the top of my head, most of them have to do with the fact that people will sometimes ask me on Monday mornings what I bought on the internet over the weekend...am I really that bad??? LOL :shame:

What show is going to be at the convention, may I ask?
