Working for Apple was an exercise in and of itself. The ethos around their whole ecosystem made for some of the most excruciating work I�ve ever performed. You wanna scream but you know big brother is listening because they�ve played back the tape before.

At least my parents feed me if I end up at their house now doing IT support. (Now they live about 8 miles away instead of 2500, so it's a lot easier.

I need to live in a cave and be done with this world already.

Tell them to jam it forcefully into every port until it fits.

If it breaks, you'll know that's not it.

Sounds like trying to walk my mother through tech issues on the phone... when they lived in Las Vegas, 2500 miles away.

I loved the calls that started with, "The thingy is blinking!" Or, "I don't know! It's just telling me NO."
