Lately it's all been about work. The start of the months are always busy for me because of all the production reports that have to be submitted. I've given myself the moniker Dataman in the office to describe what I do and I guess that kind of makes it more interesting in the office. People are starting to catch on with it and call me that as well. I don't know why I do that and it's not the first time I made a name for myself. When I was still a strategic planner at DDB, I called myself Stratboy. Yes that also caught on.
What's kind of weird though is aside from being Dataman, I think I'm getting a reputation of actually being a geeky hobbies mam. I know I like the giant robots and cartoons but lately, people are asking me stuff about which is a cool Gundam model to buy or what new game they should play. By game, I don't mean video game but roleplaying table top game. Makes me wonder what kind of vibe I really give out.
I've always thought that people hang out with me because when they're with me, they feel cool because they hang out with a geek. Or maybe They're ashamed they have a geeky hobby and know I am one of the few people who'd talk about it. Plus I don't judge, which I am really proud of.
Makes me ask myself though, do I want to be that guy? A go-to guy for anything geeky and shameful to society? Could be a yes and no.
I'd like to think all of that as an addition to who I am. It could be the easiest way I stick out but shouldn't be the only thing that defines me. I guess that's the value of experiencing new things and rounding yourself up.
But yeah, I do enjoy all the geeky good stuff.
