I am avoiding a post where I have to think really hard about a topic. That makes me procrastinate and come up with even crazier ideas. I am writing this one down now. Most of these apply to me so if you are offended by any of them you are probably a vDiva.
You might be a vDiva if…
… you roll your eyes when someone talks about installing a PHYSICAL server.
… you are on twitter to see how many people you can get to look at your blog, but you never stoop so low to interact with the common folk.
… you are surprised when the guy at the table at the VMUG doesn’t know who you are.
… you constantly check your Google Analytics account to see how many views you have. (guilty)
… you refer to yourself as @… (your twitter account)
… you hunt down @jtroyer if you latest post takes too long to get on the v12n board.
… your require a signed rider agreement with your speaking topic for VMworld, saying you need 800 green M&M’s, a copy of Lord of the Rings in your hotel room, and direct phone access to Steve Herrod’s iPhone.
I probably ticked a bunch of people off. I am just having fun. Have a great day! Go ahead and add your own in the comments.

You can say with 100% certainty that the problem is ALWAYS definitely the SAN or the Network and never YOUR hypervisor!
You absolutely LOVED Microsoft UNTIL they released their OWN Type 1.
…You know what a Type 1 is.
You switched to a MAC and still spend all day in Windows running on Fusion.

You say you’re a virtualization expert without ever having installed and deployed an app on Hyper-V, XenServer or KVM.

A sub-division of a vDiva ARE the vGroupies.
Those are the ones who like to take photos with celebrities from the virtualization community and then tweet that to the world.

Your “home lab” is starting to resemble a fortune 500 data center.
You find yourself saying “Hey Now!” when doing everyday things, like ordering pizza.
You wonder if 90% of everyone commenting on this post will soon be hired by EMC.
