I am so sick and tired of getting asked computer questions! I mention, one time, that I working in the computer industry and the flood of questions and requests follows!
“Can you setup my wireless on my new laptop?”
“Do you know how to setup a VPN?”
“My internet connection seems slow, can you help?”
“I keep getting popup ads on my computer, can you stop those?”
“Will you upgrade my computer for me?”
“Can you configure my outlook?”
NO!!! I Won’t. I HATE COMPUTERS! I like my job because I deal with computers that I, or someone as knowledgeable, has setup and maintained. These are UNIX servers and high dollar machines and equipment. Not your $200 Wal-Mart, spyware riddled, virus plagued, porno-top 9000 laptop piece of shit that you just bought at the flea market! Call the geek squad or something! I hear firedog doesn’t mind dealing with retards! How about this…how about you do a little reading and research on your problem using Google and you can fix it yourself. You may even learn something!
Now, don’t get me wrong, I am not trying to be an asshole about this. If, and ONLY IF, you researched your problem beforehand and you couldn’t find a solution using the magical Google search engine, then ask me and I will be more than happy to help. Show some initiative at the very least! I just hate it when people just assume that I will fix their problem without even trying to fix it on their own. If you are genuinely stuck I don’t mind lending a hand.
