Join IT Support For Abuse and Despair

tomhudson writes “The Register is reporting that IT support people feel abused and frustrated, with 2/3 swearing, almost half being depressed for the rest of the day, and 15% throwing things. Personally, I thinks their stats are off: I’ve thrown a monitor, a laser printer, keyboards, books, CDs, drives, kicked a few chairs, etc. Who hasn’t? What have you thrown lately?”

It takes a special type of person to handle IT. The funny thing is, in my opinion, the best people are those most unlikely to get involved. Keeping your sanity requires a special touch of apathy. You can’t care what people think, or how people feel. I know its been said a million times but you’ll never make everyone happy. Lawyers would make fantastic IT people.
