my last job my boss reminded me how to reboot a server. I just stood in disbelief as he went through step by step how to do it.
I’ve been a web developer for 4 years, I think I know how to restart a server. God I wish I’d hit that guy before I left Ⓜ

I took a keyboarding class in highschool that spent a week on where all the buttons are on the keyboard. The only thing that saved me from rampaging is watchin some of the blondes go clueless.

wait…you can actually move the windows anywhere you want to?!? Wow I really have to use this computer thing more often, seems it can do a bit more than solitaire says it can…
Ya the computers for dummies classes are a bit dated these days, then again in my intro to networking, a woman actually thought that if you cut the wire little 1’s and 0’s would fall out and make a pile on the ground…

I took a computer “class” last year in 8th grade and I used it as a study hall.
Funny thing is the teacher came up to me today and asked if I wanted to join the robotics team.
