Programmer's unpaid overtime.

Don't whine.... you have a job.

Stop your whining. If you don't like it, then leave the field. There are millions of Indians willing to work for a green card, and at half the salary. AND there is nothing you can do. AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This is just spam - go away.

My Romanian friends and I will come to your country and work long hours for real cheap, and even teach you Romanian (well, we'll group together and all speak Romanian instead of English at work so you better learn it) So stop complaining or your employer will hire more of us!

How about just sending your cute Romanian women? You Romanian geeks can stay at home. Don't worry, we'll take good care of them. I'm betting that the ladies won't expect me to speak Romanian when I can speak $$$ instead, especially with all of the overtime I'm getting. Oh, wait, I don't get paid for overtime work...Oh well send your women anyways, I can still be a big shot in their eyes even as I'm pulling down a cool $35K+/year as a programmer. Send anything but more geeks, please!!!

I believe Svetlana could probably help you out there, if their principals aren't currently in jail. But why the hell would anyone marry a non-geek? That was definitely an essential ingredient in MY choice of wife :)

Sorry, working around them all day, 50 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, I need some eye candy now and then. I just couldn't go home at night after working with circuits and software and want my wife to be piling on with her own technical issues. True, I imagine that some geeky women probably are attractive, I just haven't seen one yet. Now Romanian women, legend has it, are some of the most beautiful women in the world, and I imagine that they have really nice accents. Suprising when you consider that Dracula must have thinned the herd quite a bit through the years...

Don't toppost. Do trim. Don't forget Hungarians. The Gabor sisters were considered fairly decorative in their day, and for some time beyond. Check their Olympic swimmers and gynasts. Heck, forget the origins, just look around.

Mm, I guess one man's candy is another man's Brussels sprout. Me, I'm very happy with what I got :)

I don't mind the wife's tech issues, what I DO mind is the wife's friends bringing in their tech issues. I want a 900 number!

it,

Ah. Well, I already have an accent, and one is enough in a marriage!

Be careful. Check the canines before committing - and make the first date in daylight.

But, like I said, Svetlana (Russian/Eastern European marriage fraud^H^H^H^H^Htasteful escort agency for professional gentlemen to meat* lovely ladies from Russia and Eastern Europe, looking for marriage) could surely hook you up. I used to get spam from them all the time..

• This was initially a typo, but a fortuitous one.

Speaking of looking around, on my way home last night around exit 15 off I-95 in NY, there was a girl changing a tire and stopping traffic. Short skirt... no panties. Pretty sure it was a stunt of some kind; I wonder if we'll see footage in some future reality TV show.

I guess the commute does have some compensations, after all.

So am I. I like candy AND Brussels sprouts... :-))

Because one prefers women?

Geeks are overwhelmingly male.

If you want a geek partner, it helps to be female.

The geekhood is open to all, and would welcome more women.

Ah, that was unquestionably true ten years ago, but nowadays if you say that, methinks you're just not looking in the right places. Build a suitable display of collected paraphernalia, like the viscacha of the Argentine pampas*, and you'll attract a like-minded mate.

Mind you, I do encourage a National Registry of Available Geeks.

And while we are at it, here is geekishness (sp?) test:

Like Geek Bars?

Instead of dance music they play Star Trek Sound Effects CDs. Endless Monty Python sketches on video walls. Bouncers to stop gay people coming in and laughing at geeks.

I don't think society is ready for such radical changes.

I don't want someone with a mind like mine. I know what mine is like! I'd prefer someone well-balanced and attractive instead.

Actually, I was here first. But you are welcome, none the less. :-)

Could have been a stunt for "Girls Behaving Badly". But usually their undressed skits are located indoors.
