85. When we get a new student, they fill out a acceptable use form and they get a user account that allows them to access our lab computers. The actual act of adding a single user to our system takes me between 20-45 seconds, depending of the degree of foreign-ness in the name. Now I've written up a procedure for this, twice, explaining to death every last damn detail of what to click what to type. Had you ever seen a computer before in your life, you could sit down and do this in 5 minutes. In addition to making a written procedure, I have personally explained and coached my boss through this process at least a half dozen times. I don't have a whole lot of patience for stupidity, so let me just say this...
It still takes him 30 minutes to add an account.
86. My boss smells of severe old man funk.
Old people don't get computers. Every time I come home from college, my parents computer is severely on the fritz because of something stupid. Like, when I got home for the summer in May, it had a virus, and it had spyware on it because they actually click and download from those stupid pop-ups. Grrrr. I now have XP on the computer so that they can't change a darn thing without my consent!
