It's become more and more clear to me this week that I have serious authority issues. I also HATE doing anything involving computers with the computer-illiterate around. I'm going to KILL the next person who says, "Well so-and-so has that on their website, how come I can't have that too?"
If SO-AND-SO had a gif of them jumping off a cliff on their website would you want to do that too?! Jeez!
Computer work is a skill set, like anything else. If a computer person tells you it can't be done, then it can't be done, okay? Don't try and ask a thousand times why, don't make suggestions based on the absolutely nothing you know about the incident, just take your answer and go.
Honestly that's not fair. Sometimes the people who ask me to do things are perfectly capable, intelligent people....just, sometimes, they seem to think I'm God. Just because this thing or that thing exists on the internet, doesn't mean that I, the internet guru NON-code-monkey can do it. It's annoying and frustrating to have to explain over and over and over again how much you CAN'T do whatever it is they're asking. Not only is it dull and repetitive, but it's also upsetting on a personal level. Don't you think if I could do it, I would? Do you think I just sit here all day and think of ways to tell you 'no'? Trust me, I wish I could pull off some of that cool stuff other websites have!
I just can't, that's all. I'm sorry.
