Dec. 18th, 2013 11:21 amComputers make me feel stupid.
People who keep "improving" the way things are done on computers when it's not necessary are even worse IMO.
This comes the day after spending almost an hour at work trying to suss out their gosh wow new way of doing a particular task. I'm the sort of person who can learn a path and is then fine with it, however difficult it was in the beginning. But I can't look at a new program and instantly see what it is that I'm meant to do. I'm sorry. When I was your age (speaking to probable programmer) there were pens and typewriters. I learned to write essays and reports. I got a BA in Arts. I have published fiction.
Now I get reduced to crying from sheer frustration and feeling that I am a total idiot.
This is why I want to leave work. The work itself - a spy-eye on the courts - is usually ok and sometimes interesting, but the crap that goes along with it makes me want to go play with the trains.
