I’ve always considered myself to be above the curve of technology because so much of it has to do with the internet. It’s not necessarily the technology trends that I see myself being falling behind, it’s the purposes for them.

I think this is the same with your middle aged man’s view of the myspace/iPod. Certainly he knows what websites and portable music players are for. He just doesn’t see why these certain ones are such a big deal.

Ask me about hyfee some time. It’s still hard for me to wrap my mind around, but I know what it is, and I am quite familiar with all the technology that falls under it’s umbrella. The challenge is finding new and creative ways for my clients to ooze hyfee online. Getting old is a blessing.

I just wanted to punch them in the face.

Sadly, my job, and my computer-nerd physique wouldn’t allow me to punch them in the face. But it sure was tempting.

But thank god none of the ‘office lady’ types at the training ever really got behind the guy. Because he acts like an ass EVERY DAY with them.

I always thought it was best to put up with the crap for a few hours so everyone can see what a nice, attentive person you really are.

It does backfire later though when you see them on the street. They come up and say, “hi” and get excited to see the nice guy who talked to them so sweetly a few weeks ago.

And you can’t wipe the, “Who the fuck are you?” look off of your face.

Oh well, a friend gained, a friend lost. Time to move on to another city.
