One of my co-workers, listening to me kvetching about my disdain for Microsoft, said, "this tells me you don't want to learn new things." Uh, no, I love to learn new things, but I want to choose which things I learn. And spending time learning where they moved 28 separate buttons on an application takes away time I could spend learning to read hieroglyphics, which would be infinitely more amusing.

I would like to see this circulated widely and made into a meme on Facebook with appropriate picture of a nineteenth century clerk or a kitten or something. It is the appropriate retort to everyone who insinuates that older workers are by nature resistant to change. I'm not resistant to progress, just to change for the sake of change and new license revenues.

Congratulations on the promotion!
