Unfortunately, he was selected for this office before I started here.

Truly can't stand people like that. Waste of space and a drain on others. If the day comes where I EVER stop wanting to learn or keep up with new things, put a bullet through my temple asap.

No joke. In some ways, I get it from his side - his oldest son died, his wife had a stroke, and his friends are gone. But I'm pretty sure I'd still be making completely different decisions.

Madwi: * While sitting in his lazyboy* See the big black cable on the back of the machine?
user: Yea? I think?
Madwi: Just pull it right out.
user: You sure?
Madwi: You won't harm a thing

Even more of a reason to pick up a hobby and learn. No excuses. I am sitting at work right now learning about short codes needed for PBX systems. Stuff that has been outdated for the past 35 years, but is still needed on rare cases.
