  • Yeah. I’ve got some co-workers I hate simply because they’re super young and I would have literally killed to have this job at their age. They’re going to be able to retire at such a younger age than me.

    I spend a significant amount of time explaining to them how Windows works, when they should have had to go through other, shittier paying jobs to learn that stuff before getting here.

    Oh, you don’t know what the registry is? Neat.


  • Been doing IT for 20 years.

    The one ray of hope is that the number of entirely tech illiterate people I deal with has decreased. They’re retiring/dying. It’s not nearly as common now to deal with people that don’t understand how to literally turn something on. I also got out of the private sector, so I’m not dealing with the general public, which always made me want to drive my car into oncoming traffic on my way home every day.

    But yeah, I always make a point of embarrassing someone when I have to drive somewhere to do something a toddler could have done if they put them on the phone with me.
