Home ? or Factory ?

[N2NH]

It's the technology that kills me at home. Constant requests for setting up email accounts, learning and teaching new software, endless questions about technology, from desktops, to laptops, to cell phones, to systems I don't even have experience with. etc. This is an extremely technology oriented household and I am the full time administrator, programmer, troubleshooter, teacher. I end up spending the bulk of my time trying to avoid and hide from the technology. It's slowly turning me into a part time luddite. :(

Just Curious, but how many people live in your home?

Just Curious, but how many people live in your home?

Anywhere between 3 and 6. My folks live downstairs and I rent the upper floors for myself. Sometimes my brother stays over, other times my nieces stay for the weekend while shuttling from school (college) to home. Occasionally I have guests from out of town occupy the guest rooms when they are in the New York area. Everyone gets wi-fi access when staying over.

Good Grief, John. You knew the job was dangerous when you took it.

If we still lived in the Bay Area, my mother would call every five minutes over things like changing light bulbs, even though she was Phi Beta Kappa and can read a manual. It's hard to feel empathy for you living in a situation that contains many non-tech people.

Did you ever think your family members might be looking for attention?
