      Former boss: How do I make my computer run faster?

      Me: you could install more RAM.

      FB: Oh do I download that from the internet?

      Me: …no, it’s hardware…you have to open the computer up and physically put it in there.

      FB: I should have known that, I majored in Computer Science

      …I was fired a week later because she “felt threatened”. Lol.

        I had that happen after I told the IT manager who always showed up drunk that his flash drives weren’t working because he couldn’t expect to buy an 8 pack of 1TB flash drives of amazon for $30 and that he was at worst handing out viruses.

        I also told the interns to demand full time positions for doing all the work and not be taken advantage of so that didn’t help with the HR director.
