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!)

coolest geek on TV

Stephen Colbert! He's a LotR fanatic, geeks out about space stuff, and just argued with a musician about the Oxford comma on last night's show.

Speaking of puffed sleeves, is there an age limit? I like them on me, and I'm a not-at-all-girlish 37.

I'm wearing puffed short sleeves right now and I'm almost 42!

I know nothing of the show that this Garcia is on but it's what my friend's boyfriend's family calls her.

I don't think of Castle as particularly geeky at all, not like Hardison or Garcia or Chuck. He's not IT. Same with Crichton, but differently--he's technical enough to be a pilot, but more sciencey.

eta: I should restate--I meant tech god(dess), when I was thinking it...

Lisa, I'm now assuming your friend is awesome (which would not surprise me at all). It's Criminal Minds!

Hardison's my choice for coolest tv geek.

I work in NGO world (no relation to NGA world, except that I have dual citizenship). People wear jeans, suits, mumus, hippie skirts and t-shirts, you name it. And I haven't seen so many birkis since the last time I went to a UU service.

Nothing to see here. Move along.
