So I've started riding my bike around town wearing a huge gray cape. It billows satisfyingly behind me. This is part of my plan to introduce myself to everyone as a Wizard. Part One of my plan was to make my wallpaper on my corporate computer a huge monster truck. Because everyone knows Wizards drive monster trucks. Stage Two was to start offering to wizard things for my coworkers. Here's a conversation I had today:
Colleague: Man, I need one of those hook things for my coat.
Me: I could wizard one for you.
Colleague: Really?
Me: Yeah. I don't make a big deal out of it, but I'm a wizard.
Colleague: Where's your wand?
Me: Druids use wands. I just wizard things.
Colleague: I didn't know wizard was a verb.
Me: I had to wizard it into verbness.
Colleague: Is verbness a word?
Me: It is now. It is now. That's pure wizardry, my friend.
I've also found that wizardry is a useful baseline for comparison to everything that happens in a tech company. Like:
IT Guy: OK, your access to the intranet should be set up.
Me: You didn't even touch my computer.
IT Guy: I did it remotely.
Me: Is that wizardry?
IT Guy: . . . sort of.
