To do some of our folks justice, it's sometimes hard to make time to explore your tools when your inbox is piled halfway to the ceiling, and 95% of said items can be done using things you already know how to use ... there are a bunch of little steps I need to take to make one of my processes much faster, but it's hard for me to block out time to do it. (So I'm posting to my LJ instead of transitioning items in the content mismanagement system to the new "live static" state that was developed for me, yes indeed ... .)
The massive bundle of conflicting impulses that so many people have with technology and people who understand it is just amazing - the way people can simultaneously be buying into "my computer hates me" and "I hate the IT people" is really odd. I'll tell you, though, around here, it's so unusual to get someone to come to your desk to help, that I think your former coworker should have been sacrificing high-end chocolate bars to you, 'cause she was a helluva lot better off than a couple of thousand end users hereabouts ... .
