I get the Geeks

I get it now. I know why geeks are (stereotypically) pale, indoors types. After an entire day of interruptions while trying to get some CSS code sorted before a gigantic website upgrade, I get it.

You need your whole brain to write code and not lose where you're at, to follow a train of thought and planning to the end until you've got it right. You do NOT need to have to multitask 2 different jobs at the same time, as well as be the source of all information for those who:
a) can't hear who the bloke on the phone is asking for, so put him through to you
b) can't understand the bloke on the phone, so put him through to you
c) can't remember their own names, never mind any aspects of their job, and regularly don't get why the photocopy machine is flashing a detailed picture at them when it jams (follow the instructions! duh...).

It's enough to lock yourself away in a dark room and not be disturbed until you're done.

And if you're a Serious Geek and can hand-code miles and miles of stuff, then you may not come out of your room for years.

Me, I'm just a mini geek, trying to get a few basics right. But I get it.
