This happened this morning, about 30 minutes ago now. I told a friend who is also in IT and he suggested I share it here. For context I work in IT at a college in the states.

I had a call to go to a room because a professor reported not being able to connect to a projector. I get there and he starts giving me a lecture (in front of his class) about how the system needs to be easy enough for the lay-history professor to operate, and we’re not doing enough for the “poor history professors” (who make like $300k/ yr, guy literally said “us poor history professors”). Then dude TURNS THE COMPUTER ON and the projector just turns on AUTOMATICALLY and goes to the input AUTOMATICALLY. And THEN he’s like “oh but the sound is messed up too!” Spends like 5 minutes fumbling to find a specific video to put on and lo and behold it just works. Like bro if you or anyone else can’t figure out how to use this system, it is a problem for your dean, not me.

Edit: a couple people mentioned I probably overstated their income by a bit. They make closer to roughly $150k probably. But it’s still quite a bit more than I make, I assure you. Lol
