Maybe folks have just grown out of most fast food. It is generally too greasy for my stomach now.

We do enjoy stronger tastes as we get older.

Put a button saying accept all or make you go into a 2nd screen where you have to pick what you want. Guess what most people do to get it out of the way?

I know people who don’t use a password manager so every time they have to type in a pw they have to go through the reset process.

“My computer hates me” I’ve heard that one

I have to constantly explain to my wife that if she can’t reach a website it is likely on their end and there is nothing I can do until they fix it. I explain there is a chain of connections involved and me sitting and staring at her laptop for an hour isn’t going to fix it.

The majority of people are genuinely thankful for your help. Sometimes they put off asking for help until they are very frustrated and you catch some of that heat but they calm down quickly. They also really like it if you have to sit down and work on their computer because it means they have an excuse to not work and have some coffee. There always seems to be that one person though that you dread helping because they are always pissy and sarcastic and blame you for everything.

I had this with a person who said their screen stayed blank no matter what they did. I came down, saw the power light on the monitor was off, saw the plug was not plugged in, and fixed it. She was very embarrassed.

I hope they installed the waterproof version

Googling problems with Windows I find the majority of the results are MS support telling them to reset the OS. No attempt to debug the issue just nuke it and see if that fixes it. Then you read the next comments and inevitably they say “Nope, didn’t fix it”. I really dislike scripted responses like this.

I’ve been on both sides of it. One of my favorite IT moments was changing to a new phone. I couldn’t access my mail until I did a two factor auth process. Of course they emailed me my code to unlock my email. Good thing I also had a pc at home with access to my email.
Then I was supporting a lab. One woman was clearly aggravated when she called. She said no matter what she did her screen was blank. I head right over and just look at it for a few secs. I check the lowest hanging fruit solution first and see the power light on her monitor isn’t on. I see it is unplugged, plug her monitor in and problem solved. I’ve never seen a more embarrassed person than her. lol
Networking has to be the most thankless job in IT. You are invisible when the system is working, which is 99% of the time. It stays up like that because they are monitoring it and maintaining it behind the scenes. When it fails though the failure can be catastrophic for everyone, we literally cannot do any work without it. Then everyone’s eyes, and criticism, is on them.

From b&m to online and back. The cycle of life.
- Comment on Are mall Dojos more common these days? Given the vacancies. 10 months ago:
Yup. Sitting at home and just accumulating stuff without going out gets boring
- Comment on Are mall Dojos more common these days? Given the vacancies. 10 months ago:
They overbuilt. Outdoor malls aka “Villages” are the trend now and are doing well around my area.

Sometimes works, sometimes I’m rubbing away like a boy scout trying to get his fire starter merit badge
- Comment on Why is this so hard 10 months ago:
Best part is I can carry 2-3 fully loaded reusable bags vs 12 flimsy plastic ones that split and overflow.
- Comment on How do I stop hating children? 10 months ago:
Once they have all been eliminated, then and only then, will your feelings go away.

Still beats taking open space and paving it over for some sprawling cookie cutter development
- Comment on A fair trade 11 months ago:
I’d say building giant stadiums and paving over large chunks of land for parking lots is worse. At least golf courses have vegetation.
