Some people are shockingly stupid, even though I've spent my entire life finding out how stupid people can be.

I worked in retail for a decade, and have been in IT for past 12 years. Mostly help desk. Mostly medical.

The advanced degrees these people have is astounding, but the lack of common sense is terrifying.

Like, these people are cutting into other people to fix shit? They can't tie their own shoes, and the concept of a power button on a computer is too much.

This is the same person. Hopefully he has retired or died by now, cause those were his only real choices at that age.

Seriously, his assistant tied his shoes for him. She probably had advanced degrees of her own. And she had to tie an old man's shoes on the daily.

Maybe there something to have such a laser focus like medicine specialties really does rob people of their common sense.

Tie? Shoe? No, but that artery is about to retract or some shit.

From my experience, doctors tend to despise IT.

From my experience, anyone that works with doctors despise them, so that road certainly goes both ways.

Also, from my experience, they tend to love when you pick up the phone at 4am, remote into their machine, and just fix their problem so they can get back to work.

Day shift people suck anyways.
