Treachery in Technology

2017-08-03

I was a really competent totally immersed computer person once upon a time. What happened to me? The local technical college and their never ending double crosses and set ups to fail.

This, coupled with a boss who only told what part of the truth she wanted me to know along with her 'wannabe director' secretary who brought out each and every negativity in all situations her assistant director who was a manipulative liar pretty much did me in as a consulting aficionado leaving me choosing instead to indulge only those tasks associated with work to the exclusion of all others ...

The tragedy of it all is there are some who never "got" the fact that I was no longer in pursuit of computer support gigs and it pained me to remove my phone number from public access and refrain from mingling with all who would pursue technical support. It's simply that travesty I endured so long was too great a personal expense to bear and I quietly declined any and all interaction associated therewith after a time.

So now I do few technical endeavors compared to my 'hey day' and indeed; my level of enjoyment is minute compared to then as well. When I was put down by those I trusted I put down all of the rest as an exercise in futility and I simply have little time for social endeavors or any other trivial pursuits ... all because I was left feeling victimized by those who were FAR less skilled in the field in which we worked.

I'm happy I left that instructional nazi party called "the system" by it's familiars and I'm happy not to be around those who could only use me spitefully to further their own careers at any cost to my premium off time and subsequent health.

It's a sad notion to think that people will use you to that degree, but they will and she and her two assistants did.

It's difficult to forget a situation when it always keeps recurring referentially. I'm sure it's a confusing matter for my former cohorts to find me at this cold unfeeling juncture today ... but I get it honestly from the way I was treated and by whom that treatment was given.
