Welcome to Monday morning - power up the fluorescent lighting and percolating coffee pots. It’s 8:45 a.m.
In a few short minutes the elevators will begin delivering loads of tired, stressed “users.” Oh joy, they’re here to begin another week.
Around the water cooler, I hear the things they say. They feel overloaded and no matter how fast they’re working, it’s never fast enough.
Sadly, I know exactly how they feel.
Hello, my name is PC, and these are the confessions of a modern-day office computer.
My journey began in this office park in 2013. In those days, I felt light, fast and new. Back then, my “user” was happy. This feels like lightyears ago now that it’s 2017. And that’s not an exaggeration when you’re an office computer. I’ve come to understand that best case scenario my life expectancy is five years. Tech support is here for me every other week, so I’ve realized my time is closing in.
Last week, I heard the squeaky cart that comes to take broken equipment away to our electronic graveyard. If only I could talk!
Here’s what I’d shout from this office park rooftop:
