I look the part

I was introduced to someone at work the other day and they said "you're a developer right?". I said that I was and asked how he knew, to which he said that I "looked like a developer". Ooookay...

Today it was pointed out to me again. By someone selling glasses. In the mall. And when I think of it, people have been guessing my profession very accurately in the last year. It's starting to worry me. I look like a "developer"? Is that an insult, complement or just observation? Should I be worried? Proud? Am I a walking stereotype?

If I show up to work in dress pants, shirt and tie, all day I get people asking me "when is the interview? You can tell me, really! *wink wink*". I had to admit that I do that sometimes just to worry my boss, but it's all in good fun.

Maybe I just keep running into psychic people...

  1. I dunno, you look like a male prostitute to me. If that makes you feel any better.

  2. I meant that in the purest sense of the word 'prostitute', so I hope you are not offended :)
