Which Ultimate Beautiful Woman are You?

brought to you by Quizilla




(Thanks, Lyssa!)

You are 45% geek

You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator. Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend. You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You'll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines! Geek [to You]: I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals! You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.

Take the Polygeek Quiz at Thudfactor.com

I stopped doing these quizzes because they have a nasty tendency to disappear and leave broken links, but this one amused me, particularly since it's so accuracte [g].

Let's see if this works:

See which Greek Goddess you are.

Was there a lot of doubt how I'd come out?

Got through the first day back at the office with less stress than I believed possible--but I'm not caught up yet. And I got a raise! After only 6 months, which is *never*done, and despite my being the best paid paralegal there already, they gave me a raise. It's not "go to the Carribean" type money, but considering the situation it was nice to have my contributions recognized.
