The Gormie: Secret Origin of the I-TG33k

  Welcome to the Inaugural edition of I-TG33k. I'm your host,THE I-TG33k himself, Denny Clinton. I'm hoping you will enjoy my unique insights and musing as I tear back the curtain on the mundane and sometimes downright strange inner-workings of I.T. support and Geek-Life in general. I'm sure the title and concept of this new blog conjours many questions: Who the hell are you? Why should I bother with this shit? What the fuck is a Gormie? keep reading I'll explain it all later.

  First let me tell you about who I am and why I narcissistically think you should pay attention to my ramblings. I'm an I.T. Professional. Yeah, think about that for a second.... gets you sweaty huh? I didn't think so, but it was worth a shot right? 
  I'm a lone field technician serving the Central New York area, I have many clients dotting the landscape of Upstate New York, but my main stomping grounds is the Rochester area. I've been everywhere from Binghamton to Watertown and Ithaca to Albany to fix the computer problems that an average Joe can't wrap their heads around or couldn't be bothered with.  I started on this illustrious and exciting career path just  a short time ago but have been a computer hobbyist for years. I'm the guy that everyone brings their computers to when they break something or get viruses from watching too much internet porn, You know who you are....
  So, you're probably curious about for my Geek Cred. For the most part I fit the computer geek stereotype, I've played my fair share of MMO video games and I consistently have a stack of comic books and action figures posed on my desk. I've lived the life for years.... I witnessed the death of Superman ...(Still have my copy of Superman #75 in the polybag as well as bagged and boarded in my long box bitches!!!!! yeah... I went there....sorry) but I've somehow maintained what could be considered a healthy "Normal" existence as well. 
  Before the I.T. thing started I was a blue collar worker.....seriously. I used to toil away out in the heat. I happened to fall into that stereotype pretty well too... overly macho, hard-drinking alpha male type, but that all came to a screeching halt when kids came into the equation, My wife (we'll refer to her as Mrs. G33k, she loves that!) and I were expecting our first child while on one of my winter layoffs when fate intervened and bitchslapped me dead in the nuts. News came down that none of our crew were going back to work in the spring. I responded like any rational person would... OH WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!   So, into school I went and before long I'm in the I.T. work force.
  So, that's who I am. Now, why should you check out my further ramblings ? Good goddamn question! Short answer (since I just forced you to wade through my "Secret Origin" for an hour) : My perspective. I get to see and hear a lot of strange stuff in my line of work and being, what I like to refer to my self as, a  Gormie (Geek/Normal Person hybrid) I see humor and irony in these situations and I'd like to share it.
  So, if you've stuck with me this far, Thanks. I assure you, the next post will bring the funny.

Until next time: M3g@Byt3 Me, Bitches!
