Some computer professionals are very flattered if you call them a “hacker” instead of “that gal from IT,” while others are offended, or just feel the need to correct you at great length about what a hacker actually is.
This woman, in her late thirties and recently engaged, doesn’t much care what you call her. She fixes the mysterious grey and black boxes that pipe the internet through the Gs and the Wi-Fis, or however the hell all that shit works. If you don’t know how the hell all that shit works but need someone to shake some information out of it, she can do it.
Maybe she volunteers from the goodness of her heart because she’s happy about her impending nuptials. Or maybe she chisels every last penny out of you because she has her heart set on a Vera Wang gown and mama gots to get paid.
