So Grump

Chill Uncategorized

vCentered comments on Why are so many people in IT so introverted and grumpy?

This person has been in the fucking trenches. That’s exactly it. You’re seen as the “computer janitor” no matter what level you reach. Hell, I have “director” in my title and am senior to nearly everyone and people get pissed off when I tell them to put in a help desk ticket for their laptop won’t play audio through their headphones.

As if my manager wants to be paying me large sums per hour to help some salesperson unmute his headphones.

Every job has its drawbacks, but it’s uniquely an IT thing where people believe you owe them your time for the most trivial bullshit, no matter what your job description is or what you might be working on otherwise.

I was observing something similar recently as we were in the richer areas of where we live. There were a few older women (50-60-ish) walking or running on the sidewalk and I said to my partner something like, “When you come to a rich area, even the older women look well-put-together and attractive. And aren’t the size of houses.”

Think it’s offensive? Something can be offensive and true at the same time. It really is like almost two different species.
