9. Before I Went To Nursing School...

I was in IT, and I started off in IT Help Desk. I can't tell you the number of times I saw ID-10T errors. I certainly wanted to tell people to unplug their computers and send them back because they weren't competent to use them on even a basic level.

Seriously, I had people tell me their mouse wouldn't work, when the problem was, they'd unplugged the mouse and forgotten to plug it back in! Or, they couldn't locate a file, swore they'd saved it in one location and now it "was deleted, all [their] work just gone". Now, if you'd looked at their desktop, you'd have seen a jumble of files and shortcuts...just a massive Charlie Foxtrot. After searching through that CF, I'd find the file in all that shite. 🤬🤦?♂️

The list of horror stories goes on and on. lol

14. We have similar life experience. First I was a militray medic. Then a 25 year computer consultant...

... working with government agencies, schools, and small businesses. And yes, then stories could go on forever.

Here is one of my turning the table's stories. I started with the early with Apple products. The Apple II (pre-MAC). Schools were buying them in mass. They all came with 5 1/4" floppy drives. Apple teamed me up with the most prominent local vendor. So here is the story. All the Computers came with some early "business" software. I took one of the 5.25 floppy disks, folded it in half, stapled it together, put it in a business envelope with a note complaining that this disk doesn't work. Please fix it and return it ASAP.

I signed the intentionally terse letter Mike R. Hacker Technology Director.

It sat there at their office for several weeks until I made my next scheduled visit. At some point, I asked the owner how things were going, any problems, etc. The owner called down to the tech's room and told them to bring up the "idiot's letter." I lasted seconds before I burst out laughing. My face told the rest of the story.

Guess who bought lunch for the crew that day.
