Hardison, and the others don't even come close, geekwise.
That's what I'm thinking, but I realise I may not have much perspective right now. I just came this || close to stuffing my water bottle in co-worker's face and telling him to watch Leverage, touting Hardison's excellence.
Which is to say, I waved it at a distance and told him Hardison was the coolest geek. I wonder how soon before he either snaps or watches...

But then I started thinking, when will I feel obligated to stop?
I'm 41, so you might not want my opinion.
I remember when a friend worked at Arthur Andersen
There was a fascinating piece in Spy years ago about how weirdly specific corporate dress culture was in Manhattan, particularly at the big accounting firms. Weirdest to me was that there was a specific Arthur Andersen haircut that male execs were expected to wear, and you would be taken to a specific barber to get it. This was in the 90s, so not just some odd old school thing.

I think that's probably true. Although, Garcia?
There is no official dress code here, but being a groovy non-profit, the unwritten one is "cover your bits".
Hee--wrong Weil!
But next week we have our rep from your company coming by to show us changes to the online product - we'll see if he's in a suit.
From what little I've seen, the sales people are always in suits.
Oh, msbelle. Keeping my hopes up for both of you this weekend.
Actually, I lied about our dress code. It is actually;
Wear neat, proper dress.
I noticed our (male) CEO in a suit with no tie today -- my last male CEO would wear a suit and tie to work, but then always leave the jacket in his office and roll his shirtsleeves up. I think it's interesting the ways in which these men are trying to wear the official thing, but not look too official in it...
I think that's probably true. Although, Garcia?
Man, if I didn't ship Parker/Hardison so bad...
Nah, I could dally.
Completely unrelatedly...coolest geek on TV? I'm biased by my overweening current crush, but Alec Hardison? What's his competition? Chuck Bartowski? Sam Winchester (but he's a bit busy being...other things)?
Castle is a big old geek (much, I suspect, like Fillion), but still not at Hardison's level.
John Crichton?
And now I am actually reading this thing that I had to sign when I did my performance evaluation and it is assinine. It basically says I agree to adhere to the standards and behaviors listed, or I could be disciplined up to or including termination. But the behaviors range from the vague (neat, proper dress, greet people warmly) to the silly and minor (report spills) to the kind of stupid (Introduce yourself and explain your role--- would that be upon first meeting someone, or each and every time you see them!)
