Middle aged women and zip files

[Munkey]

I understand cooking perfectly well thank you.

Now how did it go again.....stick tinfoil covered cardboard box into microwave for 2 minutes?

I get this as well, both in Zipping files and unZipping files

Drive me potty

What is the problem? How can I overcome this? It is actually starting to become a problem in the amount of my time it takes up fucking babysitting these (otherwise highly capable, efficient and intelligent) people through this stupidly fucking simple task.

Ah, a thread that's related to my day job (training manager).


I know how you feel and you really need to write this shit down, step-by-step (with screenshots if possible) for them to eventually stop annoying you.

Incorporate these detailed instructions into some sort of "Desk-Aid" or short "Memoir" - and laminate the feker too.


Next phone call, direct them to the desk-aid: "turn head 15 degrees left...reach out...RTFM!!!"

Read... instructions?! ahahahaha

Even 1page of A4 with 75% pictures is not simple enough for them. Typically they will have to come up and do it for them "so they know how to do it next time".

The main problem I have at the place I work is that people have had basic training so they mistakenly assumed that they know what they are doing, and then instead of being surprised they can do something simple I get requests like "In explorer can I have the files before the folders and sorted by name?" and "Why have my 1000 addresses I have in AutoText disapeared?"

No, perhaps just a good old-fashioned bloke. Can't say I understand washing, ironing, dishwashing or cooking that well, and I'm proud of this.


Proud to be a man.

Oh brother, where is my barf bucket

I know how to start the Washer/Dryer, Dishwasher and Microwave. However, I do leave the ironing to my dear old mum now.
