No, I will not fix your computer

No, I will not fix your computerSometimes I would just wish to wear this. I would like to say: “Hey, it ain’t my stuff. Leave me alone!” Some people, they just don’t understand you need some foundation in order to understand some higher level stuff. And they’re so lazy that don’t even googled themselves or do some pre-study. Worse is, it’s their daily jobs. I like to help non-IT literary people. But I can’t keep helping IT colleagues to explain on some basic knowledges (repeat again and again), answering lots of scripting syntax problem (like I am a walking dictionary). But I actually just google, and showed them (of course, teach people fishing instead of just giving fish).

Well, enough grumbling. They are nice people and my good friends. In fact, I realize it isn’t easy to change one’s personality (me too). Most of the times, I would just accept. If it’s bothersome, a bit grumbling could cure. :-)

But, sometimes we just can't ignore someone who needs our help. Are we being TOO helpful? :?
