I began working in computers back in the 1970s. I have been doing the work ever since "plan A" was no longer feasible.

Over the years I've worked with a lot of great people and others who were not so great.

It seems that right about the time we raised that generation of burger flippers (duh) in the 1980s the field went into steep decline. Talk about a stupid bunch of dope smokers and glue huffers.

I am amazed how people who can't even write, much less CODE call themselves "professionals" of any kind.

The "oop" or 'object oriented programming' people are the most prevalent example of this particular variety of idiot.

These dumbasses I have encountered far outnumber those stellar examples of technical skill I always attempted to both attain and demonstrate in the workplace.

This has been both a double edged sword and a benefit as my subject matter expertise has always seen me through and has often impinged on my premium free time.

I find that the hardware and software skills I have were always a good mix in the workplace. However, you end up being some master degree holders bitch even though they are typically as dumb as dirt. "Personnel Director" bitches are the absolute worst. Talk about dumbass on the hoof in a skirt ...

You can usually find them working some attorney group on Main Street in Columbia, SC as well talking about "qualifications" as though they knew what they were or had a single one.

So today is National I T Professionals Day. It goes down on the third Tuesday of September since 2015.. Don't ask me what the platitude is all about because I really neither solicit nor need "a day". Regardless I hope you fall on the stellar rather than dumbass side of the skillset.

A note regarding this word "professional". In IT you are a professional if you can do the work to the point of subject matter expertise. So many IT so-called "professionals" are suits without skills. Therein lay my disdain.

Good luck !
 

We have another September 11 upon us with it's memories of the 9/11 attacks on multiple US sites. This was due to failed leadership, dawdling civil defense, and ignoring the signs up front. We allowed the perpetrators to be trained on big jets here in the United States because there was no vigilance. This is what happens when your chief executive is a ninny.

This resulted in Patriot Day as a time to reflect on the devastating terror attacks that took nearly 3,000 lives as well as those failures associated thereto. We commemorate those lost and thank the first responders. Many of the casualties were realized long afterward in the form of breathing those dust particles and that subsequent infirmity they imparted to our frail human existence.
 

I generally take a few moments today to consider what we stand for as a nation and how we can work together to make the world a better place for all.

The influx of foreign criminals caused by the totally FAILED Biden-Harris regime is certainly NOT a proper path in this regard. I feel it's quite outrageous to make a failed current vice president your candidate stupd democrats.

So if you lost someone in the 9/11 attacks I hope you have been able to gain peace. Otherwise you might display a little of that anger toward the administration and the handling of matters within the Republic by the incompetents we vote into power and over whom we exercise NO control.

What a stupid country we have become existing in an equally stupid woke world.

The so-called "elite" are just a another group of dumb asses with "safe space" degrees from Harvard and Yale.

Boo !
