The Office Rock Star

    Hello and welcome back to I-TG33k. I'm your Host, Denny Clinton. This time , I'd like to discuss a strange phenomenon that I've been experiencing more and more lately. It's a new trend that seems to be spreading across the majority of my clients and obliterates the traditional workplace hierarchy.
    I'm talking about the crumbling of the I.T. stereotype. No longer am I looked at as a socially awkward nerd.... hell, the I.T. guy is the new office Rock Star.

Hear me out, I'm serious. I see it constantly these days..... Ladies competing for my attention and guys attempting to strike up bromances....but let me illustrate my point with some of my personal experiences:
     One client in particular... a law office 20 minutes south of the city.....I cannot walk in the place without practically getting mauled by a group of the ladies.... One girl in particular, a pretty redhead we'll call Carlie.... She happens to have maneuvered herself into the position of "point of contact" for me... that means she's my go-to-girl whenever i come to the office..... and she takes FULL advantage of it. whether I need to or not, I'm required to go to her private office upon arrival. .... She gets NO work done while I'm there..... Because she follows me around like a puppy in heat.....She has , on occasion, even snapped at other co-workers who approach me and shoo them off by ACTUALLY yelling " He's Mine" ... None of this sits well with the receptionist Jill..... her .... methods are a bit different..... She always strikes up a conversation and wants to show me her tattoos...... none of which are visible while wearing office attire......( I know.... I have awful problems...)
    Now, I'm not going to lie... I love the attention and do little to dissuade them.... BUT my conscience is clear.... they know I'm not willing to partake in their affections (remember there is a  Mrs. G33k after all..... well, at least for now *wink*) but the idea of women fighting over a chud like me? That's a hell of an ego boost.
    Remember, I said the fellahs are in on the act too.... No, none of them are trying to show me tattoos in their No-No spots......It's just that I've apparently been inducted into the Bro's club at many of the offices I frequent. It's different at each client but the results are similar.... One Firm owner requires that I hang with him for a scotch on the rocks and discuss baseball before I can leave the office (no matter what time of day I'm there). Other offices I get fist-bumps walking down the halls..... One prestigious lawyer insists on giving me the "good Game" ass smack when he sees me (I'm REALLY not comfortable with that one....) ... Often times I get invited to "Guys Night Outs" (I've learned to say No to those after ending up on an impromptu all inclusive tour of Toronto's tittie bars...) Again, I'll admit this kind of attention is great, I'm not saying it makes my job easier but it definitely elevates the chances of my job security when the I.T G33k is the coolest guy in the room....

as always: Until Next Time: M3G@BYT3 ME, Bitches!
