Nerd Treason: A True Story
(As far as I recall it...)
Once upon a time there was a twenty one year old college student looking for a job. She was a very involved nerd. She knew lots about video games so she applied to the ultimate gamer job, GameStop. She got a call two days later and was excited and nervous for her interview the following day after that. She went into the interview and shook hands with the hiring manager. A six foot, chubby, typical nerdy dude. The interview went well (he smiled and was super friendly) until he asked her who her favorite person to play video games with was. It seemed like an odd question to her but with finesse and grace she answered, "of course my fiancé."
The hiring manager's attitude completely took a 180. He now was very serious in his questions and only asked two more until he told the girl thank you and that he would call her if he decided to hire her. The manager's sudden change of attitude was very unusual to the girl but she shook it off and just attributed it to the phone call he had received in the middle of the interview.
A week later the girl came into the store to pay off her pre-order of Pokemon X when she noticed an employee in the store whom she had never seen before. She was quite familiar with the employees so she new this employee was new. The employee was a tall, lanky, girl with auburn hair. She had small gauges in her ears and a doctor who themed belt. Other than that she didn't seem like the typical nerd. But who was the girl to judge.
There was a crowd in the store and the girl got in the line. The new employee (lets call her Sarah) was helping a family of six. The mom and eldest son were at the counter while the younger children were running about the store. The son was explaining to Sarah that his Xbox didn't have enough memory to install updates on it so his Xbox live was not working anymore. The son went on to say that he was looking for something to give his xbox more memory. Sarah went into the cabinets behind the cashier station and retrieved a flash drive. The son was questioning the method of using a flash drive for his xbox and Sarah assured him it would work just fine. The college girl was freaking out inside her head. She knew that a hard drive would not work for the long term. He needed an external hard drive. She was going back and forth inside her head whether to let this transaction go ahead or to but in and risk being super rude.
She butted in.
The girl told the boy and his mother what they needed after telling them she was an avid gamer, and that they could find a decent hard drive on amazon with lots of space for about 25 bucks. The mother turned to the Sarah and said, "Well, I think we will go online. Thank you for your help." The mother and son then went up to the college girl and thanked her. The girl got up to the front of the line soon after and paid for the rest of her preorder and then left the store with no further events.
That college girl was me (incase you haven't guessed already).
I AM LIVID THAT BIMBO NON GAMER NOT A NERD GIRL GOT HIRED OVER ME. PROBABLY JUST BECAUSE THE MANAGER WANTED TO PROBABLY GET IN HER PANTS. I AM LIVID.
