In the immortal words of Huey Lewis, "It's Hip to Be Square". While that may be perfectly valid in libraries, on sitcoms, and in certain downtown social scenes, it may not be considered quite gospel in the workplace. What's a gainfully employed geek to do, when trying to be respected and accepted at one's job, while still feeling free to express one's passions and interests? Does a career mandate a certain degree of conformity?

Joined this time around by guests Aimee and Julie, we look at geek life in the workplace, and what it means to be true to one's interests while still on the clock.
