Click this. Click that. Install this. Run that. Update this. Reboot that.


Ah yes, the sacred ritual of modern IT.

Every day I wake up, stretch, and immediately begin my daily chant:
“Have you tried turning it off and on again?”

My hands? Permanently in “Ctrl + Alt + Delete” formation.
My coffee? 98% bitterness, 2% thermal paste.
My brain? Running on 3 Chrome tabs, one of which is frozen.

Users be like:
“It just stopped working.”
Oh did it? Did it just stop, Barbara? Or did you feed it malware, deny the updates, ignore 13 error messages, and then scream when it exploded?

I am the keeper of passwords no one remembers, the slayer of printers with free will, and the high priest of “Why the hell is this plugged into HDMI 3?”

Sometimes I wonder…
What if I clicked myself into safe mode?
Would I finally get peace?

But no.
Here I go again.
Click this. Click that.
Pray to the Wi-Fi gods.
Sacrifice a USB stick.
And hope—just hope—the server doesn’t reboot during lunch.
