He was playing with Lego during Y2K, ruminations of an old timer
We hired a new network engineer at the university where I work. This is my semi-retired job. I had an IT career in public education and retired in 2020 but found that I wasn’t ready to stay home all the time. I found this gig doing stuff I did 20 years ago - handing out laptops, solving printer issues, answering the phone. I didn’t want any pressure and the job suits me fine. I don’t need or want to be in charge of anything. The money is really good for what is asked of me plus I have my pension. I was talking to the new engineer, who to be truthful has a wee bit of a superiority complex and I mentioned what I was doing in IT during the Y2K period - working for a bank. He told me he was playing with Legos during that time. I don’t know if he intended to make me feel old (I’m almost 60) but he did. I wasn’t trying to make him feel callow, just telling a story. Anyway, I gotta get my head wrapped around aggressive go-getters with something to prove. I just want to stay out of his way and do my thing. Why do men have to make every goddamn thing a competition? I still love computers after spending all these years with them. I enjoy technology and the last thing I want to do is compete with someone younger than my children over who can write the best powershell script or configure a Cisco switch in the least amount of time. I’d rather talk about how much I enjoy using Obsidian or how insanely long my MacBook battery lasts. Something fun. Don’t suck the joy out anyone’s work life, y’all. Just don’t do it.
