I really don't want to be an IT guy

I really don't want to be an IT guy. I hate to write programming and troubleshooting problems. But at least I don't really mind troubleshooting my own software. At least I know what I am doing. I hate to troubleshoot other people PC breaks down or some abnormal hardware problem.

Just because I am a IT guy doesn't mean I know what's happening when microsoft got hardware problem and program exit because of the error code 0xcceff1. Even if you go to the stupid MSDN website and look up the error code they vaguely say it could be due to the possible reasons(And imagine the endless reasons they list there). When we troubleshoot the pc and when everything is ok, we only get "ok thanks" from the user. But when things really go wrong and the pc really can't be troubleshoot we got endless nagging. Why Ko Ko? Why cannot? What exactly went wrong? Is that a virus? Or did you do something wrong? Why the error message is like that? Why the system so slow? Why there's this blank screen?

Hell.. I wish I know all the answer also. When the data is lost, it's as if my fault. I can't possibly rescue all the data from a totally corrupted hard disk. I am sick of all these.

Sometimes backing up important data and so on is also the responsibility of the users. We cannot possibly rescue a DOOMed computer. We are no superman too.

And I also don't like friends and people see me as an IT guy and every small little IT problem come and ask me. I need a break some time also. Yeah? Don't call me in the middle of the night around 2 am and come and ask me why network card controller can't be found? It's not like I digest the whole of my computer knowledge inside my brain. When Microsoft Clip Art cannot be insert into Microsoft word, I would be appreciate if you find out a work around or call Microsoft instead. Don't come and ask me why cannot insert the clip art? Hell I know.

I really don't mind helping out people. But when things are unreasonable sometimes I fed up. When you got a computer problem in the middle of the night, don't suddenly remember me and call me at the time like 2 am, 3 am. I am not 24/7 IT techinician. Some friends are really ironic. They can don't bother to contact me once in 5 or 10 years. But when the stupid computer spoiled in the middle of the night they remember me? Who am I to them? If you guys want to remember me as a friend and need help at times I am happy with it. I am glad to help. But only remember me whenever got IT problem and thinking as if like I am obliged to solve it overnight. Please fuck off. I can't be bothered.

Man!!! I hate to be an IT guy. Really. Don't remember me this way.


Ooops. I complain on my blog again. >_<
