Why I Hate Working In IT


Now don't get me wrong people I do enjoy working in IT, for the most part. No actually that is a lie I don't like working in IT but it's one of the few things I can get paid to do as I've not found anybody stupid enough to pay me to drink beer or play the bass, and sadly as yet nobody has offered up any money to have sex with me, although I am rather splendid at it.
But I digress where was I Oh yes so I was called out at a server down today as I waited for it to chug through its Vrepair I was repeatedly interrupted from my thought process by several inane human beings, it was around the third time that I remembered one of the reasons why I hate working in IT, then a load came flooding back, so I wrote them down and as a end of the day time wasting exercise I shall now put them up here.

1. People asking you things about problems with their home computer. Why is it considered a social faux pas to speak to a doctor out side of surgery when they are at a dinner party or other such event but not to IT Chaps? You know we do do other things apart from scuttle around fixing computers.

2. Mobile phones. Look I don’t know what the latest model is on the market and what it does, no I’m not interested in what yours does, no I think that ring tone sound like shit and if you play me another one you’ll be hearing the next from down you throat.

3. Everyone’s a fucking expert. Except of course you’re fucking not are you. All you’re a expert is fucking things up and making my life harder. Oh and guess what of course it’s not your bloody fault its gone wrong, oh no it’s mine isn’t it! Which you’ll delight to tell me that I’m doing it wrong right up to and indeed even after I’ve got it working again.

4. The ladies or lack there of. It would appear to just be a instant turn off working in IT.

These are by no means all of the reasons just what I thought of at the time.

And now I have to walk home as my cars in the garage. AGAIN!
