I’ve been in IT since 83. I’m sick of IT, sick of IT people and extremely tired of users. I’m going to retire soon and plan on never touching this crap again.
I started in 1981, so I’m right there with you. I hated when someone would ask, since you’re in IT can you fix my laptop or desktop computer.
My wife and I own a vacation condo, I was asked one time about the feasibility of installing wifi over the entire complex so we could all have internet everywhere and jointly pay for the service.
I replied not only NO, but HELL NO I do not want to be involved with any aspect of that.
You and I are in the same boat. Been doing this a long time, and although I like what I do, I am done with hand holding people who claim to be engineers, lawyers, and well educated people who can’t remember their passwords or add paper to a printer.
It has become pathetic.
It has been enlightening to learn to live a completely different lifestyle and completely new mindset. Really underscores the true cost of a career in corporate America.
Amen, Brother!

Right back atcha...the fun is gone for me. The 36 hour days followed by endless paperwork and most companies India first policies. I have guys working for me that are in thier 70’s and 80’s, I’ll never understand it.
Don’t even get me going on users. The stories I could tell.
I've been retired from IT for some years now. About the only thing I qualify for now is a big box store greeter.
#3 What does IT mean?.... : )
Most websites if you right click and View Source have a lot of gibberish instead of clean code, especially Wordpress sites. All that gibberish is to track you. It also slows down the loading of webpages and videos.
