Nerds R Us

to close out this lovely workweek, i wanted to remind you that your friend sauj is a big nerd.

at lunch today, i went over to the t-mobile store, thinking about upgrading my current phone. i debated with the saleslady...another samsung (to support my korean peeps)? a razr? ugh, but EVERYBODY has one now...f that. how about the sidekick 3 like snoop and paris hilton?

and as the conversation dragged on, i found myself with the blackberry 8700g in hand. NO! i don't know came over me. i've been so good w/o a bb for a whole year! but then, i really hadn't bought a new electronic gadget since last year...so i was due.

as i told sara - "sauj: electronics :: lindy : makeup"

i came back and showed the new bb to the assistant lady. told her that i gave in to my inner dork. she said, "just think, it's so dorky, that it's cool." kinda why coyote ugly is a good movie.

but of course, i couldn't just be a dork by myself. i had to email aisha, fellow ex-banker friend turned mba student who also couldn't live without her bb.

her words: "i totally approve of the banker nerd bb."

i feel better. misery loves company and so does uber geekiness. happy weekend all.
