Is it wrong to be amazed that folks who work in an office environment for the past 20 or 30 years have no idea how to use the very basic computer functions? I myself am totally amazed. These people make over 50k a year and dont know how to copy and paste. Or they dont know how to Extract files from a zip file. What is even more amazing is that windows has a built in unzip extraction now with windows 7, which is what they are using by the way....
I know i know, im being overly critical and harsh just because i'm in the IT field, and i shouldnt be so critical of folks because they dont do IT stuff on a daily basis. BULLSHIT. Im talking copy and paste here people. You do it every time you get pictures off your camera, (oh wait they cant do that either) or every time you move a file to the recycle bin.
These people are in charge of your payroll or your healthcare benifits, or your admission into that university, or your recertification or whatever. Your life as a business person depends on these people and their ability to do their job. This should scare the shit out of you. I know it does me. What is it that folks just dont understand about learning the basics of computers? You know theyve used them for the past 20 years almost. they really should know how to navigate the basics by now.. Or one would think.
another thing that gets me going is common sense. one would think its common with that name. Ugh. I suppose its like we say about a drive on a park way and park on a drive way. Makes no sense why we named them what we named them. I had a person a while back, out of the blue ask me if i remembered a spreadsheet i made, and then maield to everyone about computers that needed replaced. (i made said spreadsheet so i wouldnt have to commit everything to memory) I said yes, i remember the spreadsheet i mailed it to you, and everyone else. Why? This person then said nevermind I'll figure it out. I was like if you were gonna do that why even bother asking me if i remembered it. I then got attitude from her the rest of the day, when asked what the deal was, she said i am difficult to deal with. She has yet to see me difficult, but i assure you, she will see me difficult from now on. I'm done with it. Dont ask me stupid questions and i wont give you stupid answers.
I had a buddy give me a scare this week. I woke up groggy one morning and saw him on crimestoppers. Turns out the police are idiots and grasping at straws. They said he may be a person of interest, but the video and photos made him look to be guilty. Goes to show you theyre just as dumb as the news are. He got it all sorted within 8 minutes of talking to the officers, (they knew he was innocent before they aired the video. they were literally hoping he'd remember some guy pumping gass at a gass station at 430 in the morning.) Shows how stupid they are. Oh well, better hope your no where near any crime or you may be broadcast as a person of interest.
Thank goodness it is friday. I am ready for some gamecock football, and i am ready for some relaxing weekend time.
