So you're saying that we should just pretend that 99.9% of the people we deal with aren't morons?

B.S. If you're an accounting guru, and I ask you a stupid question since I don't know jack about it, you're telling me you won't tell your other accounting buddy about it and share a laugh? Don't be a hypocrite.

No, I don't expect non-Accountants to know anything about accounting...it's not like people following accounting for fun like people follows computing...that's a bad analogy.

Two things:

1) Not everyone in IT is a glorified computer tech like you described in your post.
2) Professionals in IT don't look at everyone that's not in IT as morons.

Other than that.... meh.
 
I have a somewhat similar situation - okay not too similar. I work as a research scientist guy doing analytical chemistry, and naturally we too have had an IT department in all of the labs I worked at. Being in the science field, the IT people are somewhere near the bottom of the barrel in terms of being up to speed on a lot of science and technology stuff. I have worked on older chemistry instruments that were based on Unix, all of our instrumentation now requires a tremendous knowledge of computer "skills." However, all too often the IT people like to make it appear that they are gurus of All-That-Is-Technology; it is sort of laughable in my situation.

Exactly.
 
I recall reading that the reported memory use by Firefox is not accurate due to how it allocates memory. Not sure though...anyone know for sure?
 
Meh, not everyone is like that, in my experience most aren't, in house tech support is a pretty good job, when I was younger and still did help desk, it was a great way to meet people, and I made a lot of friends, but sometimes people call up and ask for things that they don't need, like dual LCD's, or more RAM. I'm not saying that you don't need more RAM, but you have to realize as an accountant that it's not in the best interest of the company for tech to just hand out $100 sticks of RAM like candy to anyone who asks. If it doesn't significantly impact your ability to work, it just doesn't make sense.
 
as much as i understand what you're going though, there's something called "IT policies" in all companies, much like "expense policy" and "HR policies"

they're there for you to follow them. you don't want to? quit. that's how simple it is
