> Anyone else? I know people have geek stories. Confess.

I don't seem to be as computer geeky as y'all. (o: However, I do use a computer all the live long day , but my programming is limited to HTML these days. I do remember trying to unlock my front door one day by trying to find the ctrl+alt+del keys (can you tell I have NT?). I also find that I use HTML in writing most of my reports and have to run back through each document I write to remove the commands. Luckily they're pretty obvious.

Most of my problems stem from speaking 2 languages on a fairly regular basis (English and German) and I will find that if the perfect word is in the language other than what I'm speaking it will flick the language switch and I'll start speaking gibberish (at least from the other person's point of view)! My friends were only understanding the first couple times this happened, now they just walk away. (o: Luckily most of my family speaks a fair amount of German and can follow me.
