    I know someone who runs a large IT department and I need more than a beer after hearing some of his stories. He is one of the 1st 'Millennial's', was raised rurally on rain tank and dam water and he is convinced that city water has affected peoples brains. Won't drink it at all.

    Whoever made the pretty picture probably doesn't even know those jobs exist. Many office workers I have met are totally ignorant of how even simple technology that they use everyday actually works and have some sort of mental fracture that prevents them from conceptualizing a process from start to finish.
    The Dilbert chronicles by Scot Adams allow one an insight into this alternate reality.

    Posted about Mike Rowe's Santa song below.

    Don't even get me started. I've worked with a lady would would print out an e-mail, retrieve it from the printer, walk to the scanner, press the "scan to e-mail" button, then scan the printed e-mail. THAT'S HOW SHE WOULD FORWARD E-MAILS.

    Most people are borderline incompetent.
