It's called becoming successful. Some others will say you have no life but they are just jealous you know.

Yep, hard at work... but not computer nerd or geek

If you start building a spare computer out of spare parts you have collected over time in order to install a new flavor of *nix, than we will talk geekness

I wouldn't say its becoming a nerd but rather becoming successful. You're becoming passionate about your work, making a living and being a success.

I wouldn't call that a nerd quite yet... Just because you use a computer to do email and stuff doesn't quite award nerd status.

Yes that is true but I am home almost every weekend working on here! Maybe I am becoming more of a workaholic not a computer nerd. Melissa

you're just taking care of business - successful entrepreneurs work far more hours than the average slob with a job. the sacrifices are worth it to most - imagine being 50 years old and you're still working for a boss, making 50k a year and you are looking ahead to retirement - unless you're born to a rich family the only way to attain financial freedom is by sacrificing alot of free time as a young person - most young attorneys and doctors work minimum 75 hour weeks - webmaster is no different

Good point and yes I do know 75 hours a week very well lol! I wasn't blessed with the rich family and I don't want to work till I am 50 so here I am. I am not even saying it's bad per say just not what anyone I know is doing so it's hard to find others that relate to me and what I am doing.

not sure how old you are Melissa - 21-22 probably - some of the people you know in a few years will be making the same time and work sacrifices you are now with their own careers and businesses - the ones who don't are regular joes - which for some people is fine and they are happy. money alone definitely doesn't buy happiness.

I have been the same way for years. Just put on some nice glasses, put your hair up, and put on a mans dress shirt., and get some photos of you being a nerd. Make more sales.

Oh I agree with you 100% I would not have this if it wasn't for that! I mean I had always done well at everything I tried but without my looks I would still be working as an Annuity Coordinator making $40k a year. I know I am very blessed! Melissa

that happened to me a couple years ago. I missed hanging out with my friends and going out. I bought a blackberry thinking that i would be able to go hiking .... or whatever.

But now I'm that annoying guy sitting at a table full of people txt messaging people in the biz or checking in on stuff ... at the club.

:edit: SHIT. It's midnight on a friday night and I'm posting on GFY. okay fuck you guys. tonight is different. I'm prepping the house for New Years
