<\/strong>I was in a meeting today with several non-technical people and one other technical person. We were working on a project and in the middle of the discussion, the tech person and I turned to each other and went off on a highly technical and geeky tangent. When we were done, we went right back into the rest of the discussion, now both on the same page. After a moment, I turned to my colleague and said,<\/p>\n

“We just had a side-bar, didn’t we?”<\/p>\n

She nodded.<\/p>\n

“Wait,” I said, “Let’s call it a side-geek.”<\/p>\n

I may have invented a new term.<\/p>\n

Side-geek: (noun) – a sub-discussion between two or more technical people as part of a large discussion with non-technical people; used to further the process without confusing the rest of the group.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I suggested to my boss that we invent a machine that dispenses a single chili cheese frito each time I “save the day”. He thought it was a great idea. I really like chili cheese fritos, but I know better than to eat too many.<\/p>\n

Well, today, the chili cheese fritos would have been freaking RAINING on me. I’m on fire today – people keep bringing me problems and I’m all like: BAM! SOLUUUUUUUTION!<\/p>\n

And it’s noon! If this keeps up, I’ll be running this place by 2:00. Can you imagine how many fritos I’ll get then? And my ego is going to go through the roof – we may have to remodel the building just so my head fits indoors.<\/p>\n

I’m telling you, it’s a bitch to be this awesome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
