1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,480 Hey, we're back this week and we are talking about all things 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,040 tech. Yay the IT people. 3 00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:14,440 Just everything in between the laptops we hate the most and 4 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,720 also the keyboards that we love the most. 5 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,360 So listen in. Hell yeah. 6 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:29,480 Buckle up. Corporate crash out? 7 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:38,200 Will you cash in or crash out? I did something also cool this 8 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,600 weekend. I went to a work event on the 9 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,720 weekend. That kills who holds a work 10 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,960 event on the weekend? It was like not as much a work 11 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,600 event, but basically I guess what PNG does on Dividend Day is 12 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:58,040 that they go to Kings Island. But if you don't know what Kings 13 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,520 Island is, I guess it's like a Six Flags. 14 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,760 So they kind of like. Rent it there girl. 15 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:10,320 Me and Kings Island go way back. So they like rent it out and 16 00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:15,320 then the PNG employees get to bring like 1 guests or whatever. 17 00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:17,560 Or if you have a family then you can bring your family. 18 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,200 And then they have all this stuff set up that says like 19 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,640 dividend day and then all the Charmin signs. 20 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,800 And then they have the big, there's a big Charmin toilet and 21 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:33,760 the big Bounty paper towels and the Pepto Bismol giraffe. 22 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,200 And yeah, it was kind of cool, I have to admit. 23 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,120 And they gave their employees like free swag. 24 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:45,640 And one of the things they gave was like a Boston cream shampoo, 25 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,040 like it was a Dunkin Donut collab or whatever. 26 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,280 So. That's really concerning, 27 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,720 Dunkin. Has done some interesting 28 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,440 collabs. When I used to work at Post I 29 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,400 think they did like a cereal collab. 30 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,200 It was so interesting seeing the consumer side of how many people 31 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:07,040 actually bought all this stuff. Like the weird they had Fruity 32 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,240 Pebbles coffee Creamer that didn't go well. 33 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,480 But I actually did see that in the stores and I thought, what 34 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,640 the hell? Yeah, but that's one of the fun 35 00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:22,880 things I think too about my job with the data analysis. 36 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,080 Like I can just go and like look at some random stuff and be like 37 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,800 I used to. Do like one of my internships 38 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:36,200 was doing rebates for different vendors and like gas stations 39 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,480 and that was really interesting day to look at Like wow this is 40 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,800 disgusting really this many mountain dews were bought or 41 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,040 like or like this many bags of chips. 42 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,360 I was like, this is nasty. I feel like a gas station would 43 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,120 honestly be kind of interesting because there's some stuff they 44 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,360 try, like I don't know, the candies and everything. 45 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,000 It's a lot, yeah, the candies. And there was like also like 46 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,760 weird drinks that like different of the distributors would 47 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,600 launch. And like, obviously if you're 48 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,760 having a rebate, it's probably because there's a promo on one 49 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,200 of the like items, which is usually like the newer items or 50 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,360 stuff that they want moved. So it was definitely very 51 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,400 interesting just to look at the sheer quantity of flow through 52 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:29,400 the gas station of literal junk. I remember once I was looking 53 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,000 through a company's like phones 'cause they, you know, some 54 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,240 companies give their employees like phones, but if you go back, 55 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,480 like you can see the types of phones that were still active 56 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,320 and there was like really old Blackberries still in there that 57 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,640 they were like paying for. And I don't know, it just the 58 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,720 corporate like data sheets. I always get so intrigued by 59 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,280 them. And maybe that's just me, but I 60 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,640 think there's a lot of hidden gems in there that don't get 61 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,160 talked about enough. Gosh, you're a nerd. 62 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,400 I just. A hidden gem so you can find the 63 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,520 active blackberries everyone. If you really dig deep in the 64 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,760 data, you can see that they have an active BlackBerry. 65 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,959 Yeah, but isn't that interesting to know that somewhere, someone 66 00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:22,200 in the world is still using a BlackBerry? 67 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,440 Did BlackBerry come out with a new phone a few years ago? 68 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,120 Am I making that up? New BlackBerry classic coming in 69 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,880 2025? What? 70 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,720 No way. Fuck, no way. 71 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,120 Wait, what does it look like? This is on Reddit. 72 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,160 Oh. No, but it says it's coming 73 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,080 back. Wait, you can buy a BlackBerry 74 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,560 right now at T-Mobile? I will not be getting a 75 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,720 BlackBerry. It has the little keypad on the 76 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,080 bottom. Yeah, I see. 77 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,800 I'm like. Why do I kind of want this? 78 00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:58,120 Well, you know, if something horrible happens with tech, we 79 00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,720 might have to go back to BlackBerry. 80 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,600 BlackBerry's guys, like we said, a lot of firms are cutting right 81 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,040 now. So, you know, it seems that 82 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,360 BlackBerry it might be back. I'm obsessed. 83 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,120 We don't even have work phones. Our calls come through Teams 84 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,640 because why would we pay for work phones when it can come 85 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,360 through Teams? I agree with that unless it's 86 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,840 like you know, you get calls after work hours and if you're 87 00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:28,160 like are a person that has to work overtime or something, I 88 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,520 can understand why you would want a phone well. 89 00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:32,720 You can get teams on your phone and it rings your phone like 90 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,400 normal. You can really just click slide 91 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,080 and answer it. OK, here's the thing too is like 92 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,960 I feel like if a firm doesn't let you download Teams or have 93 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,800 your e-mail on your personal phone that they should give you 94 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,720 a phone. Because I need to see like what 95 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,600 is happening on Teams in sock. And that way like if I'm tanning 96 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,720 by the pool on my lunch hour, I can see if my boss texted me or 97 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,720 not and then I can respond instantly. 98 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,760 Like I can be like, Oh yeah, I'm doing this or I already 99 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:02,920 completed that. I don't. 100 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,040 Know I don't keep my e-mail or my teams on my phone on like I 101 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,400 don't keep the notifications on unless I need them because I 102 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,160 think like work life balance. Like I don't want to see an 103 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,160 e-mail come in at 8:00 PM and know that my Co worker is on 104 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,440 working because then I'm going to feel guilty. 105 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,040 Oh, that's fair. It was so funny 'cause one time 106 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,240 me and the other intern we like didn't do work on like one of 107 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,440 the virtual days and so for some reason our sleep schedules were 108 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,400 so off. So I was on it like 2:00 in the 109 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,400 morning working on in the presentation and then he was 110 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,880 also on at 2:00 in the morning. And then I got on the dock and 111 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,320 then I, he saw me and then he immediately got off the dock. 112 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,160 But I was like, I still say you're slack. 113 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,960 Like I know you're active right now. 114 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,360 I know, yeah, sometimes if I'm on at a weird hour, I'll like 115 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,840 manually change my team's logo so that people like my icons 116 00:06:55,840 --> 00:07:00,280 that people don't know I'm on. But I don't know I I think that 117 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,440 it's just weird to ask an employee to use anything on 118 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,920 their phone too as well. But one time I tried to 119 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,240 screenshot an e-mail my phone and my phone literally wouldn't 120 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,640 let me. Like they have it locked down. 121 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,280 I can't take a screenshot. Yes, I don't. 122 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:13,960 I didn't even know that was a thing. 123 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,040 Wow, that's so interesting. I didn't know that either. 124 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,200 So how are you supposed to like, oh, I guess you could just 125 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,040 forward it, but. Yeah, if you need to send 126 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,160 something, you'd have to forward it. 127 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,960 Or the hilarious part is like, I could just get on my computer, 128 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,280 take a screenshot of it, and e-mail it to myself, you know? 129 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,760 But can you just also like copy and paste? 130 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,560 Well, yeah. OK. 131 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,040 Probably, I don't know, but I just thought that was so funny. 132 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,840 I was like, you can't screenshot per your phone's policy. 133 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,360 Like it was like an Apple pop up. 134 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,840 I was like, whoa, this is techie. 135 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,240 This is beyond my. That's so interesting. 136 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,440 Have you ever had to go to IT or had like an issue with your 137 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,840 laptop? And then they're like, can I 138 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,000 like take control of your your computer? 139 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,440 Oh yeah. They they have to do that all 140 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,280 the time to me because all of ours are remote too. 141 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,200 You like join this session and they'll be like, am I OK to 142 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,080 assume control? And you like type in this little 143 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,880 box and like, Yep. And then they just like take 144 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,240 over. No, but not even zoom control. 145 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:16,800 Like I'm not. I know what you're talking about 146 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,760 with zoom control, but this was so crazy. 147 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:24,400 This was that when I was at a consulting firm and I would just 148 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,920 get on my computer and I was like teasing this guy. 149 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,800 I was like, hey, I'm having trouble with this software 150 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,080 application. He's like, oh, can. 151 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,200 I like, take control of your computer? 152 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,039 And I was like, sure.

But but it wasn't even on Zoom. 156 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,640 It was just like, and I didn't even have to accept anything. 157 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,039 And I was like, what? They can just do that whenever 158 00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:46,480 they want. So like I'm literally sitting 159 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,480 here wondering how many times they just go on random people's 160 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,400 computers and just look at what they're doing. 161 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,480 Oh, so I would do that if I was an IT, no offense when I get. 162 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,400 Older 100% be me, especially like, I feel like it is one of 163 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,120 those like, weird jobs where like you can have a lot of 164 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,800 downtime and then, like have really big rushes, you know? 165 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,000 Yeah.

They don't. 173 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:34,240 No one knows them but you most like Oh yeah, if you like ask it 174 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,520 like what's my password? That's why they never can tell 175 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,200 you, but they can like prompt a reset. 176 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,960 Oh, that's so interesting. Yeah, but I didn't know that. 177 00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:45,960 The most embarrassing IT ticket you've ever put in? 178 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,560 Honestly I don't really have like a ton. 179 00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:52,360 It's usually just getting access and stuff for interns. 180 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:58,440 And what, Claire fess up? I am it's worst nightmare. 181 00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:03,040 I think I could have guessed that, but let's hear it. 182 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,760 My camera wasn't working and I was like trying to have meetings 183 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,600 with clients and I was like, I am so sorry. 184 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,720 Like my camera, it's like it was just showing a black screen. 185 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,640 And you just didn't slide it. Yeah, that happened to me. 186 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,920 I didn't know there was a shutter. 187 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,800 I didn't know but either because I always use a Mac and so the 188 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,560 first time I got like a PC, I tried to turn on the camera and 189 00:10:25,560 --> 00:10:28,520 then I didn't know that has like an internal like safety. 190 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,440 What do they call? That really hidden to on mine. 191 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:33,560 Yeah. And there's like this little 192 00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:36,080 like, black thing that slides back and forth so you can cover 193 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,400 your camera. Yeah, I didn't know that either. 194 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,280 And then? We came over and they're like. 195 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,080 But I don't know, I hate having to put in IT tickets for 196 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,840 everything. It's like kind of annoying. 197 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,560 If it's something really urgent, I am like, I will cut the line 198 00:10:57,560 --> 00:11:01,800 in the IT tickets and just like walk over to like the two IT 199 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,720 people who are actually located in our office and be like, hey, 200 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,720 it's me again. We have like things called power 201 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,000 up bars or whatever, and they're like on certain floors in each 202 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,080 building, but you still have to sign in when you go in there. 203 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:21,000 So I had to sign in to like give them my laptop at the end. 204 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,040 What is this? This sounds like when you go to 205 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,840 Apple and you have to sign in and you wait and you wait and 206 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,240 then they don't actually help you. 207 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,320 Oh, well, it's not, it's minus the don't actually help you. 208 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,640 I mean, sometimes they don't know what's wrong, but then you 209 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,720 just keep going to them over and over. 210 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,040 But I told you one person in the summer, he had like computer 211 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,320 issues. I don't know what happened. 212 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,080 And they took it for like the whole day. 213 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,720 And so he was just sitting there with no computer and. 214 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,520 All of. Us had our computers and he 215 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,280 didn't even know when his meetings were that he had 216 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,000 already scheduled because he didn't have like obviously a 217 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:01,120 phone or laptop or anything. So he was just by himself all 218 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,920 day doing. Nothing. 219 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,120 That's so sad. I know. 220 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,840 But yeah, I also feel like we probably bother the IT guys way 221 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,960 less than some of the CE OS. Like let's honestly think about 222 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,400 it. Like I would die to see some of 223 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,680 like the CE OS tickets that they put into IT because it's 224 00:12:20,680 --> 00:12:23,880 probably the most like how do I. Turn this into APDF. 225 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:29,080 No, literally a partner called me into his office once and was 226 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,760 like, hey, like Claire, I I need your help with something like 227 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,080 comes over to my desk, like not even sends me a team. 228 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,560 So I'm like, oh, yeah, like what's up? 229 00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:38,840 Like I got you. He's like, can you go to my 230 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:39,760 office really quick? I was like, yeah. 231 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,080 And he says, so he has this like Word doc pulled up and he's 232 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,920 like, so I'm imagining that there's like a box on top of it 233 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:54,920 with words in the box. And I'm like, like a text box. 234 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,040 He's like, yes, exactly. I was like, OK, go to the insert 235 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,760 tab, click text box, and then you can write it. 236 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,440 And he was like, wow, see, you just learned something new every 237 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,240 day. I was crying. 238 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,280 That's so funny. It's also like when they don't 239 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,440 know how to, when you go in like a conference room and they don't 240 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,440 know how to set up the call. I feel like all the managers and 241 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,080 stuff, they're like, can you set up the call? 242 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,760 And I literally just press the button. 243 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,560 Let's just like start the meeting and that's it 'cause 244 00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:27,280 they hardly. Think you're a genius? 245 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,200 Yeah, that's so funny. I can't. 246 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:36,200 Like my dad too. Like I was like, Dad he he was 247 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,680 like, well, how do you this is like the wrong file. 248 00:13:38,680 --> 00:13:40,080 And I was like, what are you talking about? 249 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,080 And he was like, well, they say they need APDF. 250 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,080 And I was like, yeah. And he was like, I don't know, 251 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,960 like, how am I supposed to get APDF? 252 00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:53,120 And I was like, Dad, what? And he I was like, you never run 253 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,520 into this at work. And he was like, no, one of the 254 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,080 people just help me. And I'm like, are you serious? 255 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,600 That's so bad, Oh my gosh, I feel. 256 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,440 I feel like he can learn. I feel like he just doesn't want 257 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,840 to. Well, if this is any 258 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,640 consolation, my dad types like this. 259 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,400 No, Yes. With two fingers or with two? 260 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,840 Fingers well like they like randomly all end up in there 261 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,560 somehow but like no rhyme or reason mostly just like two or 262 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:27,320 three. He's pretty effective, but it's 263 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,280 it's quite painful for me to watch. 264 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,840 But like I thought they had typewriting classes back then? 265 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,320 Or maybe. What I mean, I think people 266 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,040 still like, cheated. Like you didn't ever have people 267 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,880 like who lifted the little covers off of the keyboard to 268 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,560 like, cheat. We had, it was actually so 269 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,000 rigorous. We had it 3rd grade where we had 270 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,280 these, we weren't, I mean computers, they were just typing 271 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,360 machines. And I had to go to tutorial. 272 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,280 I don't know if I told you this all the time because I wasn't 273 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,560 fast enough and I had enough accuracy. 274 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,720 And so we had to get past like level 150 in 3rd grade. 275 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,400 And so I was sitting there in tutorial trying to learn. 276 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,120 And then we also had to do type to learn. 277 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:09,600 Did you guys have that in fourth? 278 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,760 Type to learn. The games were so fun. 279 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,800 That's all we did, Katie. You're so nerdy for liking type 280 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,000 to learn. I kind of hated it. 281 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:19,920 Oh, it was so fun. I was so good at it. 282 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,840 But I was also like a piano player as a kid, so it came 283 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,400 naturally so. It came naturally. 284 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,680 That's so funny. What if we had those like 285 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,760 classes? I feel like they're going to 286 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,240 need those for like CE OS and stuff. 287 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,040 But like for basic things, you know, like this is how we 288 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:43,520 download APDF. This is how we use this browser. 289 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,040 This is how our database works. You know what I'm saying? 290 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,000 No 100% this is how you add someone to a teams call when 291 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,640 your teams calls already started. 292 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,640 This is how you. Update an invite. 293 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,680 That was the other thing, like the team's call already starting 294 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,960 and then you don't know how to add like a Zoom link or 295 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,160 something to it. Once you already, I forget. 296 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,240 That was a big issue at one point I wanted to go with 297 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:09,920 companies. I worked out there like guys, 298 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:15,600 you have to add the team's the call 1st and then do it or 299 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,640 whatever it was. It's so interesting. 300 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,360 But anyways. How much drama and for what? 301 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,280 And literally I've talked to some of the IT guys and then 302 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,600 I'll say like, oh, what does like the CEO ask you? 303 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,760 Because there was one small firm and he was like, oh, he calls me 304 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,920 all the time, like four or five times a day. 305 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,560 And I actually go and set up his presentations for him because he 306 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,320 doesn't know how to do it or like help him share the screen 307 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,920 or like do whatever. And I'm like, oh, I'm so sorry 308 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,240 that that's. Like kind of embarrassing. 309 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,040 Like I think there should be like ACEO proficiency test, like 310 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,840 if you're going to be above a certain level, like you need to 311 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,760 know how to put your PowerPoint on the screen. 312 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,440 Yeah, you would think, but I don't know. 313 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:08,119 There was one, one of my friends, I don't know CE OS of 314 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,960 the company he works for, he couldn't drive. 315 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,079 Like he actually couldn't drive himself to work. 316 00:17:13,079 --> 00:17:15,440 He had to have someone drive him because he would. 317 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,680 Just like in New York. No, no, no, no. 318 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:23,920 This was in like some rural place, but he had to have 319 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,720 someone drive him because he would get so distracted because 320 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,720 he would think about like a million different things or 321 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,880 whatever. And so he like actually couldn't 322 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,960 drive because he was such a danger to himself. 323 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,560 So he had to have someone drive him. 324 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,600 Like he had a driver or like he said people would pick him up. 325 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,720 No, no, he. Had a drive now Can you imagine 326 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,000 him calling random Co workers and be like are you going to 327 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,400 pick me up? Can you pick me up for work 328 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,360 today? That's so funny. 329 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,160 No, but I think about that sometimes. 330 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,760 Love IT though today I literally forgot my mouse at home though, 331 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,880 and I went to IT and I was like, hey like do you have a loaner 332 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,000 mouse I can use? They're like not a wireless one 333 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,040 but you could have this wired 1. And I was like all day with like 334 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,520 this mouse probably from the early 2000s, like wired to my 335 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,240 laptop. I don't understand mice actually 336 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,600 and I just don't why. Why does the trackpad not work? 337 00:18:18,360 --> 00:18:21,560 Because some people literally in my classes will fully set up. 338 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,680 They'll have their computer, then they'll have the mouse, 339 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,880 then they'll have the thing the mouse sits on and they'll have 340 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,880 the set up and like all their stuff laid out. 341 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,000 And I'm like really for like this class, like where you just 342 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,040 need to type? I don't understand but maybe I'm 343 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,600 like missing something. No, I think that's actually 344 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,000 insane. But like for me, I'm like 345 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,800 clicking in little tiny cells and stuff all day. 346 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,480 And like, the trackpad on our computer is not great. 347 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,480 Like the trackpad on a Mac beats any other trackpad I've ever 348 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,360 used, by far. Yeah, I've had some at some 349 00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:56,840 other firms where I like, I try to move it and then I just like, 350 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,640 I don't know what happens. And it was actually so annoying 351 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,400 and I couldn't get any work done and I actually had to get it 352 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,200 fixed but. No, that's why I use a mouse at 353 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,080 work. But if I had a Mac or like 354 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,840 honestly like my like Lenovo ThinkPad, like right here mouse. 355 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,400 Works great. OK wait if you have a non Mac, 356 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,720 what kind of laptop like do you want? 357 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,880 A ThinkPad is. That the one that folds into an 358 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,960 iPad? No, a ThinkPad is just like a 359 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,960 kind of computer that's made by Lenovo. 360 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,200 Oh wait, you've definitely. Had one. 361 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,080 I hate those. I can't. 362 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,880 I can't. They're so good because I need 363 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,520 the 10 key. I can't live without the 10 key. 364 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,360 No, I can't handle these. I really yes, these I hate 365 00:19:42,360 --> 00:19:44,080 these. The ones that say like ThinkPad 366 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,520 on the back, No, I don't like those. 367 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,280 I like the ones where you flip it and it gets to an iPad and 368 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,800 then. Fuck that, I don't want an iPad. 369 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,240 I don't need an iPad. That would be so useless for my 370 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,760 job, no? No, no, no, no. 371 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,800 It's not just an iPad, it's a laptop, but you just flip it 372 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,080 around and then you can this house like a touch. 373 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,640 Talking about a Microsoft Surface. 374 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,800 Sir, those are nice. I recommend those. 375 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,960 So if you guys get to pick what laptop you have, highly 376 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,600 recommend that one. And then there's some I know 377 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,400 that just like for one of my internships, it was so annoying 378 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,280 like this is a thing that people never talk about like I would 379 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,480 honestly quit my job if they didn't give me a good laptop or 380 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,360 I can like pay for my own because it's actually so 381 00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:29,720 annoying. I used to run these huge Excel 382 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,600 files at one of my jobs and it was like for financial modeling. 383 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,720 So it was like huge, huge, huge and like we already turned off 384 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,360 auto save and like all these other things. 385 00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:39,520 So it would like just process faster. 386 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:46,160 But it would take so long. And to do literally anything, I 387 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,880 would have to do the thing and then like wait a minute and then 388 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,280 do another thing and wait a minute. 389 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,120 And it was the most frustrating thing ever. 390 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,520 And it was like really annoying. Immediately no. 391 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,000 My sister pulled her laptop out of her bag the other day when 392 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,920 she came to visit me and I was like what is that? 393 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,280 She's like my work issued laptop. 394 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,640 I was like no. Like the answer for me would be 395 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,080 no if they gave me that. What was it? 396 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,680 I don't even know. Like I didn't even recognize. 397 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,520 It was like off brand. It was old, it was small. 398 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,600 It. Was doing nothing. 399 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,320 Yeah, I always think that's like so interesting though. 400 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:27,080 I know at the company I'm going to go work for, they give us 401 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,360 Airpods, let me join. So I'm super excited in a phone. 402 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:35,200 It's nice. It's so nice, so exciting things 403 00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:37,640 actually. Even if you love everything 404 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,800 about your corporate environment, the technology 405 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:44,800 matters so and then some. I've gotten 2 monitors and at 406 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,840 some I only get one and some I've gotten 0 so I think you're 407 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,360 really awesome. I've never had less than 3. 408 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,040 What? I've used all three all day. 409 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,960 I what? I've had two at a decision 410 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,720 science internship and then I had like one at a business 411 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,000 analyst internship. How do you function off of 1? 412 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,280 One is like a little hard. I'm so productive with my three 413 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,360 monitors. Oh, but we have the huge one. 414 00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:21,280 Like it goes like it's like the curvy 1. 415 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,320 OK, then that's like 3 monitors. Yeah. 416 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,600 So that one was nice actually. But so like kind of replicate 417 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,960 that for myself, like working from home, I had to get 2 418 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,680 monitors and then I use my laptop. 419 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,480 So I have like my laptop and then my 2 monitors. 420 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,760 OK, that's similar to me then. But like at work I just have 421 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,160 like the three and I just like go ham. 422 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,600 And then at home I have like a giant one and then like my 423 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,920 laptop. Did you pay for it or did your? 424 00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:53,160 Company don't get me started why they don't give us at home 425 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,120 setups, but they do give us like field monitors. 426 00:22:56,120 --> 00:22:58,880 So I have like a really skinny little pop up monitor that I can 427 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,520 take to the field with me. Like if I go to a client, so I 428 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,080 can have two monitors at a client. 429 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,880 Oh that's so interesting, I didn't even know they had those. 430 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,960 That's so nice. At one of my companies and this 431 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,840 was like an internship that like, I don't know, I didn't 432 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,760 expect them to give me like a laptop and they gave me a 433 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,240 monitor for home. And so they gave me both of 434 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:21,880 those. And then I know like some people 435 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,560 when they first start their job, like usually not interns but 436 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,960 full time, they'll give you like a stipend to get your at home 437 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,800 like setup done. That would be nice, but 438 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,880 unfortunately some accountants are cheap. 439 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,040 That makes sense, but I feel like a lot of people work hybrid 440 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,720 these days, so I feel like you kind of need to you know I. 441 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,280 Need it. I've looked several times on 442 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,880 Facebook Marketplace thinking like, someone's gonna sell like, 443 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,240 their head up and it'll be nice because like, I don't want to 444 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,560 spend like all this money on something that should be 445 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,320 provided, you know? No, I know it's like the. 446 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,320 Principle. It's like I think it would be 447 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,080 worth the money for like my comfort, but like it's the 448 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,480 principle. Like I shouldn't have to buy 449 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,040 this. Yeah. 450 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,480 No, that's fair. What do you think about 451 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,360 keyboards though? Like do you have, do you have a 452 00:24:12,360 --> 00:24:14,360 nice keyboard? Do you have preferences on 453 00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:16,280 keyboards? I don't like the really steep 454 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,400 ones where you have to sync your fingers all the way into it to 455 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,240 type anything. Those are so annoying. 456 00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:23,960 Like a old school one. It's kind of satisfying for 457 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,080 about like 2 lines of typing and then I want to throw it out the 458 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,200 window. Yeah. 459 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,520 No, I have a really sleek slim 1 and I really like it. 460 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,800 They had this like workshop, I guess at one of my works where 461 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,000 you had to buy the part to yourself, but it wasn't actually 462 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,120 that expensive and you could like make your custom keys. 463 00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:44,000 And so like people did that where they like our whole team 464 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,120 made like custom little keys and like one person's was like 465 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,040 rainbow and what person's whatever. 466 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,760 And they did that to make their keyboards look like cool and 467 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,200 fun. That's so fun. 468 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,640 Imagine having a community building exercise as such. 469 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,920 I feel like that would be cute. And then they always give us 470 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,760 like laptop stickers depending on like what team we're on. 471 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,200 So there's like subset, it's like every 20 people that's like 472 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,480 a team basically. And so like each of those have 473 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,680 their own like icon and then they give you a sticker like 474 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,200 ours was the spice group. And so they give us like a bell 475 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,600 pepper we could put on our like laptop and stuff that was. 476 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:25,840 Fun. That's so fun. 477 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,240 All right, guys, that's all we have for this week's episode. 478 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,120 But we love, love hearing from you, you guys. 479 00:25:32,120 --> 00:25:34,880 To make sure to either comment on Spotify. 480 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,560 Or YouTube or.
