It absolutely amazes me how people can't seem to change with technology, especially older people.
There are two people who I work with who should probably retire, but choose not to. Seeing as they refuse to come to terms with the idea that technology can be your friend, that should be their number one reason for going.
The first one is a male chauvinistic pig. He a 70 some year old baby who refuses to use a computer. So is my job to help him do his job! Go figure, I have enough of my own crap to do.
The second one is a lady and she really plucked my nerve yesterday. I had a customer who was pissed off because we screwed up their parts and they had to send them back to us for rework. I needed to fax them some paperwork on the repair and this woman would not let me use the fax. She explained that I could only use it when she was done. I brought up the idea that it would be scanned and held in memory for cue and then it would just be sent next. She got all upset and tried to start an argument with me. "NO, you can't use it! You have to wait till my stuff goes through and I am all done!"
OMG you dumbass, get out my way, what part of that didn't you understand, IT IS SCANNED, SAVED IN THE MEMORY AND WILL BE SENT WHEN IT TURN COMES UP!!!! GRRR

I get so annoyed with people who refuse to change with technology. I mean, I can see someone not wanting the latest and greatest things, but computers/fax machines, etc., aren't going anywhere and refusing to learn to use them just makes life difficult for everyone. Sorry to hear you're having a rough time with people at work!
