I find it depressingly pathetic that there are that many people who don't realize that things need energy to god damn work.

I mean, what the fuck are you expecting? You buy a device and it reads your mind, springs to life, and you start using it? What doesn't plug in? Almost fucking everything either plugs in or uses gasoline for fucks fucking sake! AND WE HAVE PEOPLE WE ALLOW TO HELP PICK THE PRESIDENT RUNNING AROUND NOT KNOWING THIS. I don't understand how, even if you skipped 13 years of normal school, how just being alive doesn't teach you this. It's as if aliens showed up and their ships were made of jello and they burned titanium for fuel - makes no fuckin sense.

Things like these are when I hold a very arrogant belief that there are those asleep in plato's cave and those who are not. I'm better than the cattle because I can identify a fricken 110 plug! YAY! King of the mountain... fuck... the mountain is made of shit. This of course is unfair... still I am prone to feel superior to others... I mean they believe in god(s) and shit.

There was an assistant to some head honcho at GE I remember... Pretty woman. I think she was a cheer leader for the cavs before she switched careers. Her printer wouldnt print. It was plugged into a power strip. I asked if the power strip was plugged in and she said yes. I asked if the light was on, she said no. I asked her to try a different outlet. She did, same... In the course of shit she unplugged her computer, losing her unsaved work... You have guessed it I am sure. Power strip was plugged in to itself. I was a hero because I found her work in a temp file (MS office shit...)

The worse is people in a field who dont know basic shit... You are in voice and data and dont know how to make a loopback plug? Get into the oven.

It used to annoy me that step 1 on any procedure was 'is it plugged in' because I thought there couldn't be that many people that stupid.

Sigh, those were the days.

I mean it keeps all us tech people employed so at least it's not without some upside, it's incredibly depressing to think about but that's why we have alcohol.
