I’m a co-worker and this is offensive to my people. Can we help it if we don’t have ubuntus where we’re from!?!? How can we know what those are if we’ve never seen them?! OK, now how do I submit this comment? Just a sec…
I’m the webmaster in my office, in a totally non-tech industry. Our IT staff is entirely off-site, so all the coworkers seem to think that “webmaster” means I can construct a computer out of a cardboard box and a pair of tweezers in a dark room. Fortunately, most of their questions are pretty easily solvable by anyone who’s regularly used a computer for more than a month or so. Oddly, they’ve all used computers regularly, but haven’t a clue how to do ANYTHING beyond basic word processing. One last week even was baffled as to how to save a file in Word after the IT guy gave him a new computer without the little happy face icon he’d been using on his old one. ?????????
Ugh. I wish I had seen that flow chart on my first day of work! I’ve tackled about all of those damned diamonds and without fail the day ends in those doomsday words, “Thanks! See you tomorrow!”
Fortunately, my tech-ignorance is well recognized among most who know me…with the exception of my mother, who, like most people of her generation, simply can’t grasp the concept of pushing a virtual button….
