Shades of a brave new world
It is impolite to laugh at the foibles of noobs. Just sayin’.
Actually, I was advised that it would be a good idea to warn the world. There’s now a cell phone with my face on it. Little matter that I had to ask expert advice on how to answer the dang thing. I mean, it rang, and I recognized that this was symbolic of “an invitation to talk loudly in the presence of others”. Except that with smart phones (in the hands of stupid users), the simple things like “respond” aren’t inborn. I did manage to turn off the power, and rotate the screen 90 degrees. Oh, and place a call. It was just the answer trick. Now I know… I think.
The work day was a quiet one. Some VOIP support. A chance to instruct someone on the act of cooking a CD. A lot of waiting for the bell to go home. There isn’t a bell, actually, but it is an old school building so there are echos of a past time. And by the time my bus was ready to receive me, the place was almost empty. Summer schedule (which has one more week to run).
While others were thinking about supper, I was back in the big box store. This time around, the servers were up and running, and I’d signed my way into the wonderful world of the data warriors within 30 minutes. Also paid for the service of having a screen protector installed (a good thing, since the tech muffed things and had to take another from store stocks). That wouldn’t have been free for me.
