IT Geeks - If you want to get a job, get a life!

[SUBMAN1]

Funny! I wonder if these employers realize how stupid some people are? I don't mind them not knowing what a CPU is, but I do mind telling people the same thing over and over 10 times over before they get it, when they already should get it because its a common sense problem. Once or twice would be nice. I'm probably have more pacience than most IT people I've seen, but it still bugs me that some people are employed when I think they probably have trouble putting their pants on in the morning!

Anyway - charm school for geeks in on the way:

One of the reasons i dotn work in IT anymore is my lack of patience with people. Most of the time it isnt too bad, you explain and they lsiten and the problem is avoided in the future, but some people...god damn, anyone who hasnt worked in a similar line of work cant even imagine. I hope for teir own sake that they can imagine the horror, THE HORROR.
Though tbh i have never met anyone who fits the stereotypical computer nerd description, but i know lots of people who work in IT.

If you said “yes” 8-10 times :(
If you said “yes” 4-7 times :/
If you said “yes” 1-3 times :)
If you said “yes” no times, it may be of interest for you to know that the signs above are called emoticons and look a bit like faces if you tilt your head sideways
