so i work in IT. it’s basically a thankless, shit filled job. one thing i’ve come to notice is the way in which people relate to you as the “computer guy.” for one, people are always afraid of doing the wrong thing in front of me… afraid that i will somehow destroy their jobs by making their computer impossible to work with… or that i will turn them in for some crazy security related rule that they don’t know about. it makes it hard to be friendly with the people around me when they see me as somehow being above them or something.

haha little do they know that i could give two shits about what they do all day, or really what they do with their computers. as long as they aren’t fucking up my shit (i.e. infecting the whole place with virii — which is actually really hard to do since we lock their shit down tighter than a baby’s asshole at a priest convention) then they can feel free to do pretty much whatever.

but of course, this job induced distance between myself and my co-workers isn’t all that bad. i’m one to subscribe to the philosophy of “don’t shit in your own nest” i.e. making friends at work is bad b/c then they want to be friends when you go home too.

and who the hell can relax at home if they have people from work there? i sure fuckin can’t…
