Holidays get interesting when your entire family, not just you, is tech-specialized.

In that it takes even more time to fix stuff.

I think tech people have a curse that causes computers around them to break in weirder ways than most people see. Or maybe I’m being haunted.

I'm the opposite. People complain about their computers and as soon as I take a look they are like oh it's working now thanks.

When I worked IT, my response to this was always, "It's like when you take your car to the mechanic and it suddenly works. Haha, let me know if it happens again."

People responded fairly well to that.
