I've been there once to register my iPad- spent twenty minutes being condescended to and treated like an ignorant technophobe until they embarrassingly realized I had already done every single thing they were trying to teach me how to do while I was waiting to be helped...

I'd prefer a kick directly in the Friedman Unit.

Most of those people are called accountants. Fortunately, I am not one of those. Although I often feel like it, given how much time we have spent breaking our promise to one of our customers that "we will not be writing an accounting system".

But ... but ... <i>serious</i> people say we should cut Social Security and Medicare. Not just any Tom, Dick or Harry ... these are <i>serious</i> people. In Georgetown and other places where <i>serious</i> people congregate and talk about serious things. Like cutting Social Security and Medicare. And it <i>pains</i> them to have to talk this way. But they are <i>serious</i> people, and really, they must. Not that they will need any of this themselves, but the folks who do are so incredibly un-serious. I mean, really.
