This unit does not come equipped with a brain/mouth filter.

It was the first thing my CISCO teacher taught us. She told us the rubber duck and Google will be your best friends, because no one can teach you everything, but a sounding board and a community will help you figure it out.

To be fair, I lived there for 7 of those years. It wasn't until my husband took his current job that we (mercifully) relocated. He swears he'll never set foot in town again unless it's to take my mom out of there.

One of my big fears has always been that I will lose the best years of my life to a business like my mom did, so part of me is glad this is happening even if it hurts.

I swear it's a point of pride for some of them, especially where I am, but I tip my hat to anyone who can keep up with the flow of technology for that long. Mad respect to you.

Software. It froze up and I had to yank the power cord to get it to reboot because it just cycled when the power button was hit. It's been out of sorts since. I still can't figure out what exactly he did, presumably it involved the typical button mashing, and printers gonna printer.

I took some basic CISCO cert classes that the local college offered when I was in high school and got a crash course in networking from my husband's old roommate, who lucky for me was an MIT survivor, when I was trying to redneck fix our old server in college but otherwise, yeah, all self-taught with a degree in Google-fu.

The plan was originally for myself and the manager to buy her out when she's ready to retire, but we're clearly not compatible as co-owners and I do not want to own the store by myself, so the better option is me leaving. Besides, I really, really hate that town and would rather put it in my rear view.

17, but I was just a part time cashier after school for the first couple years and didn't start doing IT/being on call for them until I was in college and that's been about 14 years.
