    It's a sad self-perpetuating cycle, too.

    Treated poorly, all the good IT people leave for other jobs.

    With only fools left behind, they fuck up and lose the respect of the rest of the staff who then treat them poorly.

    From how I have seen attorneys do work maybe running your crappy Firm-provided Dell laptop for 3 months straight without ever closing a single document could have something to do with your lag issues

    Who do I have to vote for so that I don't have to go get my car inspected today? This minor inconvenience is very slightly inconvenient in that I would rather sit here and play Smash Bros but instead I have to go to a gas station and maybe sit around for an hour? I guess I can play Smash Bros while I sit, but it won't be as comfortable.

    Bring on the glorious unregulated free-market of vehicles careening off the road all the time, is what I'm saying.

    If a computer is so integral to your job, maybe you should learn how to use it.

    I'm friendly with some of the IT people, but more than half of them I don't know. They are just people on the phone sometimes. But when someone does good work for me, I always tell the supervisor. I don't think enough people do that.

    Your computer system is a luxury that we have agreed to keep working despite the best efforts of users. "I have to remember how to click a thing" or "this version worked fine 7 years ago, why does it have to change even though it's no longer supported and there is no one who even remembers how to service it" are silly complaints that are presented as non-negotiable by privileged manchildren.

    Feel free to hire additional secretaries and procure typewriters if this is unsatisfactory.

    See, all the good IT people get out of Law and you're left with clusterfucks like this.

    There are so many add ons. We hired a consultant once. He surveyed us and then told us that he never saw a law firm that was unhappier about their systems. He said a lot of it was because we use outlook more than any other firm (everything runs through it, including our file management system, our comparison software, our fax system, our citation tracking utility for some reason, and our contact management solution). We made no changes. But hey, at least we upgraded from WinXP to Windows 7 last year. . .

    To be fair, I am onboard with this idea.

    IT guys are way too happy to let relatively small things be a restriction.

    In my apparently coming career as an IT guy, I am resolving to try and remain positive.
