"We Built The Pyramids!" - Barenaked Ladies

I work with computer geeks.
They know they are geeks.
They are proud of it.

I am not a computer geek.  What I am is at least ten years older than the oldest employee there and more than twenty years older than most of them. Thankfully, I have teenage sons who have rubbed off enough of their geekiness onto me that I can fake my way through most conversations.

I went to lunch with a group gigabyte of these geeks this week.
At one point, our boss mentioned how working in our office is a lot like hanging out with the characters in the TV show Big Bang Theory.
"We've got all the personalities," he remarked.
We all pondered this quietly because no one wanted to point fingers (or have fingers pointed at them) over who would be Sheldon.

And I wondered which character that would make me.
Penny?  No way.
Amy? 
Bernadette?

Then it hit me.

I'm Sheldon's mom.
Thbbbt.

Perhaps you should read that as a compliment. Never having watched this show however, I could have missed something ...
