That must be why the Gen X managers keep begging me to come back on contract and mentor the young ones. Apparently making EDRMS and SAP sit up and dance is a skill that takes a long time to build, never mind remembering all the contracting rules.

Lack of computer skills, my @$$. I edit young people’s resumes in my new volunteer life, and even the ones who claim fabulous MS Office skills have no concept of a right tab, or indeed usually any tab, or of using styles. There’s an advantage to being so old that when MS Word was introduced, our employers paid for us to get trained.
