> anyone getting into anything computer related in the last 20 years is retarded lol at the tailend of the 1990s i did a useless course to get the certificate to be a computer tech, it really was useless for me i already knew enough to do the job but had to go through the bullshit. we were told we'd be starting on $30 an hour if we managed to land a job, i got the first one i went for but instead of $30 i was offered $11 an hour and that never improved the couple of years i was there. quite incredible the work i was expected to do on such a low wage and instead of slipping into the job gracefully surrounded by other more knowledgable techs i was the only fucking tech there and sent off on day 1 to fix a backlog of shit. was sighing from stress for weeks. heh, one fucking job, a minor issue, was getting an old woman's modem to work after it stopped. as soon as i saw her norton antivirus i knew the problem and how to solve it but she wouldn't let me uninstall norton because it cost her money. i spent hours longer than necessary fucking around while her aged dog lay there farting. i never billed any of my customers for the work i did because i found out the firm i worked for were billing me out at $200 an hour yet they fucking queried my first mileage submission like i was trying to steal from them. chinese bosses, btw, based in auckland, while i was living at the other end of the island. always did as much as i could for the customers but made sure the company never made a single cent off my labours for fucking me around.
