At least you don't live in Western Wasington state. It doesn't seem to care here, it doesn't need an excuse to rain:p
Maybe I'll drive East a bit for better weather.
Well, the accountant who you look down on for falling for a phishing expedition probably cringes at the way you handle bills. The Doctor thinks you're an idiot when it comes to taking care of yourself. The contractor thinks you don't know a hammer from....
Get the picture? Jack of all trade, master of none. Or so goes the old saying. Most of us are good at something. Some could even be called brilliant. I've even met a few people who are very good a most things. I've not yet met one who is good at everything. Not one. I've heard what some of them call some very smart IT people behind their back as well. They call some of *us* idiots because of how well we understand *their* fields.
Seems to me the ones who make it biggest in the IT sector, will be the ones who understand this and can help the people who don't understand computers the best. But then again, those are usually the ones who understand what ROI is and how it affects their jobs, and can actually tell the boss/client why the proposed project should *not* be done. The ones who understand that the person who fell victim to phishing speaks a whole new language that most computer geeks don't understand, just like we speak one they don't.
I expect that this is not a recent phenomenon, nor is it going away anytime soon. Con artists have been around for a very long time. I make the humble sugestion that you vent in here, but for your own sake, please please please don't take it into the work place. It's extremely dangerous to yourself. When perceived as having a negative attitude, most people don't make it far.
Actually, I'm not really an advertiser. I have helped set some advertising up in the past, recomended a direction and companies to advertise with, but my I do a lot more than that. I help businesses look at what they are doing and why, then make recomendations on things they could improve on, educate them, etc. Things like supply chain improvements, new sources, employee/customer/investor relations are all things I get to deal with. That's why I wouldn't mind a looksee into the back office operations.
I dunno, as somebody who gets paid to help businesses, I'm not so sure this should be posted under advertising, maybe wishes come true. Oh for a chance to really get a good in depth look at their back office operations. Ya never know when you'ld learn something new you could use. Though, one can't blame them if they are taking advantage of it for some advertising lol.
