We had an IBM workstation quit working a few weeks back (most likely a blown or overheated motherboard). I called tech support to have them send a replacement. I wanted to swap the hard-drives but nobody told me they had received the replacement until my shift was over that morning and I was already dead tired from being up all night. So I figured I'll just take care of it when I come back tonight instead of sticking around here, waiting on hold God knows how long for tech support to dial-in and configure everything and (me) getting overtime again (which made the boss flip out the week before). Later that day they picked it up. I didn't get to swap the hard-drives. >:-[ Ticked me off - big time! I do have back-ups of some documents, and wordpad files but they weren't updated (I know, stupid).

Anyway. I hooked up the replacement workstation/tower and the new lady that works there was going on about how I must be a "genius".

And I remarked about "yeah, connect the blue cable to the blue port, pink to pink, green to green,..." then shrugged my shoulders.

A good number of people that are acquainted with me think I'm "good with computers", but I know enough about computers to know that I don't know enough about computers.
