The boss:
"Um - when you make changes to a word document on your computer does that mean that the old document is automatically updated in other people's email."
Me:
"Um - No - You have to resend the updated document to everyone."
The boss:
"That's stupid, why not."
Me:
"I think my phone is ringing in my office"
WOW -Are you serious!?

Be happy you don't have to spend Monday mornings tracking down personal items lost by your boss while he was partying over the weekend.
I think I would rather deal with an idiot.

lol!
Be gentle to the techno-phobes who have positions of leadership. People once thought electricity "leaked" out on to the floor and would get them in their sleep.
Just keep enlightening them and smile as you picture those little electrons tickling their slumbering toes!
Besides, there just may come a day when some genius answers that "stupid" questions of why not? and figures out a way to do just what the boss is asking for...would save time, now wouldn't it?

I can feel your frustration. One of my coworkers is just like that, all of the time. I feel like I spend half of my day explaining things over and over to her. She just doesn't understand simple basic computer stuff that she should by now, like restarting a computer, or opening a file. I try to be patient with her and put on a smile and be helpful but inside I feel like screaming at her. I mean really, I do have my own job, if you can't figure yours out maybe you should go find another job! Grrrrrr!

I work with people with dementia. You feel like banging your head against the wall constantly.
The food and drink is poisoned ...... the chair you would like them to sit on before they collapse will vaporise the second they decide to sit and having a wash is the worst kind of punishment known to mankind.
That's aside from the gentleman who insists on 'escaping' countless times a day and you have to drop everything and race after him before he gets onto the road.

I only have my boss whose great and one co-worker to talk to................. but she is so thick I'd like to bang her head on the wall................. it might knock a bit of common sense into her!
She's paid to clean the house and do the domestic care and has to be told every week to empty the bins and change the bed!
Wonder who tells her at home?
