There is a big problem in companies with technology. MOre specifically bridging the gap between the technical and non-technical people. What most companies have is a people that are very technical and people that aren't but know a lot about the business itself. When it comes times to integrate technology all hell breaks lose. There is rarely anyone in a company that can make a smooth transition to technology integration. The non-technical people who know all about how the company operates and the products they produce want to do things a certain way without having a clue as to how technology works and will help things. The technical people are hell bent on doing it a certain way and have a complete disregard for the products and how the company works. So you get these crappy systems that don't do shit for anybody. The favorite line of technical people when they are presented with an issue from the non-technicals is "it can't be done". You hear that crap so often and without any real explanation. They can bullshit the non-technical people but I want to punch them in the face when they try that crap on me. A lot of technical people have an attitude of rigidness and refuse to try anything even remotely difficult or creative. Also sometimes I see very little forgiveness among techs for mistakes or misconceptions that non-techs make. The techs just curse under their breath or call the non-techs idiots and don't even bother to explain things in an clear easy to understand manner. Sometimes there is no willingness among the technical people to explain to the non-techs how exactly things can be done with computers. Non-techs have no problem explaining their situation but the techs just keep their mouth shut and do what they want anyway. Damn fools.
I'm hungry. Sushi for lunch. Maybe curry again. I've finished half of what I need to get done at work. Only took about an hour. I'll finish up the rest after lunch. I have to pace myself. Ha.
I metioned a teacher who was like 85 and competeted in masters track and field events. He had a gold medal from some masters olympics. I think his name was Claude Hills. He is listed on this page for the 70+ high jump.
