Rules for Dealing with IT People in the Workplace

 Articles

angryITpersonUp until now, my articles have been a little controversial. I probably pissed a lot of Mac enthusiasts off as well as Vista haters and telemarketers with my previous articles. While writing this one, I had a bit of an epiphany. Why just irritate certain people? Why not target everyone? That’s exactly what I decided to do on this one. Most of it is satirical, even exaggerated at times, but it all has to come from somewhere right? I think the only group that won’t be irritated with me after reading this are people in the same field. They know it’s true, so they’ll be thoroughly entertained. Enjoy!

Macs…Are they Invulnerable?

 Articles

Apple logo“I’M A MAC!  I DON’T HAVE PROBLEMS, VIRUSES, OR HARDWARE CRASHES LIKE PC’S DO!!”  Would someone like to tell me who the hell made Justin Long the spokesperson for Mac?  It’s a rhetorical question and I didn’t expect you to say “Steve Jobs did!” I understand what Jobs is doing by putting a celebrity as the new face of Apple, he’s quite the businessman.  If he wasn’t, then I don’t think Apple would have asked him to come back and run the company after they fired him in the 80s. Back to Long, the concern I have is, why him? Why a comedian? Aside from some of his extremely funny movies, what else has the guy done?  Let me rephrase that.  What else has he done to prove that he is savvy enough to comment on whether or not a Mac is better than a PC besides read from a script? I understand what it means when Michael Jordan was promoting a new line of Air Jordans in his playing days.  That is a basketball player promoting a baskeball shoe.  That makes total sense to me, but a comedian qualified to endorse a computer?

How to get the Telemarketers to Leave You Alone.

 Articles

telemarketingI know this is not a “techie” article, but it is something that I’ve wanted to write about for a very long time! Please read and enjoy because I feel that this information can make your home lives much more peaceful when it comes to the telephone.

You all know the drill. The phone rings, on your caller ID it states some number that you’ve never seen before. You pick up the phone and BANG! Now you’re trapped with this guy/gal that is just yapping and yapping without letting you get a word in edge-wise. I’m sure this usually ends with a hang up, telling the caller to forcibly insert something into a very uncomfortable place, or screaming at them. Yet, after all of this abuse, they still call you back! The nerve of those sons of bitches!
