My pointless thread

Ok first off this is more of a me me me sorta post i`m not that sort of person but i just need to share this with someone, or else i`m gonna go nuts lol.
So please don`t moan afterwards.

Ok so it`s been bout half a year since i last had a netbook,last one broke, and this is the first time i have had windows 7 and *** have i been getting stressy with myself, and i just got real stressy with Microsoft/windows 7(for a thread i`ll post in a minute).
I want to be an I.T Tech and well before my last PC broke, i was doing fine, had lot of confidence computer wise, was also using XP, so was pretty happy.But now OMFDs i can`t believe how much stuff i`ve forgotten (hence my lack of posts)
Instead of feeling like a geek i feel like a dumb***.
It`s really stressy for me, as i feel like a failure, i got a C++ book and was hoping to learn to that language(was going to start tomorrow but now am thinking whats the point as i`ll most likely forget it all).
Anyone else ever felt like this? My brain also feels foggy if that makes sense, like the opposite to clarity, i guess you could call it un-clarity:-D but foggy`s a better description.

On a better not i just found out how to turn of that b***** annoying tap to click thing on the touchpad, and i feel alot more relaxed.

Thanks for reading.


P.S Battery was also doing my head in, but have suddenly remembered what it was designed for *Face palm* :-D

 

All the time. Computer technology moves so fast, if you stay away for six months you almost have to start over relearning everything.

I also frequently feel very foggy as a side-effect of having insomnia, but I don't think that's what you meant. :-D

 

Well, if you don't like stress, forget about being an I.T. Tech., (coming from someone that's been a Tech for over 24 years). It doesn't get any easier, I'm afraid. But yes, it is a constant learning curve in all facets.
Yet another range of CPU's released in the last few months and another new O.S. on the way - so may as well get used to it..
I'm another one that gets a 'foggy noggin', due to Insomnia and working all night most nights. Plus I'm not getting any younger, ya know.LOL

 

Thanks dude, maybe it is because i`ve had few late nights, but i think it`s more to do with my diet.Trying to detox abit now see if that`ll help, don`t take this the wrong way but it`s nice to know i`m not the only one who gets a foggy brain, i feel a bit more normal now:-D

See i hate stress, but being an I.T tech would be a different kinda stress i think, cause i do love PCs and some tech, i love the technicality of it all and helping people when they`re like me now lol confused.I find shop work stressy aswell, well tbh i find pretty much this whole life stressy:-D
That`s something else i gotta read up on the 2nd gen CPUs tell ya what though these TVs are ******* me off, why o why do they keep bringing them out they irritate me so much.
I`ve done a bit of experience working in computers shops, and find it cool, although i wasn`t a tech, i mean i backed up the data, cleaned out the pc, installed some memory etc and liked it, i also like a good challenge and being an I.T tech is the only job that appeals to me.

Not before posting:-D

Thanks for reply, i`m a determined individual and have loads of free time, so can get to grips with stuff easy, i think i`ve something like what you mentioned with my old desktop, i booted the linux disc and it lets you see what it`s like without actually installing it, i`ve never used vista, would love to though, so many people complained about it being so buggy.
I`ve just got a build your own pc book,as i know pretty much how to build one, but just need to brush up on it.


Thank you all for your posts, have helped me out

 

@ LoneW0lf:- Yeah, don't let me put you off. If you love the work, (as I did/do), then it's all worth it. It's a hard, sometimes frustrating, but rewarding path, i.m.ho.

@ David:- Great post and excellent links, mate.

 

I agree with the others here, slow down and take it step by step. That will help relieve a lot of stress about the IT world.

 

SSssssshhhhh!! You're ruining all the fun of letting him think I'm a guy and then revealing the shocking truth at the most entertaining moment! LOL

 

:-D yeah she'd have played that for weeks ...Mimsy, you are a cruel chap :-D

 

Whoa, that comment could take this thread in a whole other direction :-D

 

I do hear Mimsy has quite the sword.

And they say I'm the bad one?! LOL

It was a Valentine present.

 

Yep, I have a friend that can lash me to death at 30 paces with her tongue!...I am a little afraid. - Okay I lied, I am VERY afraid!!...roflmao
