The Computer Guy

Fri, 12 Oct 2007 03:57:29
This is funny. Quoted from
http://www.lifereboot.com/2007/10-reasons-it-doesnt-pay-to-be-the-computer-guy/

"So Shaun, what do you do for a living?"

Hesitantly, I responded: "I work in computer support."

The transition to silence was immediate. All eyes suddenly turned to me, raised eyebrows all around. If you hadn't heard my response, judging from everyone's reaction you might think I said something outrageous like I was a male stripper or a gynecologist - but I knew the awkward silence would soon be broken by an overwhelming outpouring of computer questions.

"Oh wow, a computer guy!" - "So you know how to remove spyware and viruses and stuff, right?" - "Our family computer is really slow, I think it has a virus." - "Do you have a business card, or can I get your number?"

Enjoy
