The mystery of IT help desk personnel

So I don't know if you've noticed this but most all IT help desk people are skinny short white chaps with pasty skin and spiky hair. At least all of them at my current client site are. It's true. They're all about 5'5". They all spike their hair. Look vaguely Israeli. Are always addressed by their last names. Skinnier than Resh (and you have to admit, Resh is pretty skinny). Skin so pasty you wonder if they've been eating hog feed. (Yes, I know that last one was gross). Which I don't quite understand. Admittedly the cafeteria smells like animals (btw, I just found out what the smell is around here - it's the smell of cooking animal feed) but the food isn't so bad. They had biscuits and gravy with sausage for breakfast yesterday. And there are windows in the IT department. I know, I've been there. There is sunlight. It's all very odd. They wear bell bottom jeans and striped t-shirts with heavy black boots. It's a whole new culture there.

It's almost like they're.... aliens.... or something.
