Now I Remembered Why I Never Made It to the IT Industry

I was trying for the last.... *looks at clock* 3 hours, trying to understand the IT jargon (FTP, SQL and etc...), learning to upload a new template from my hard disk, only to realise that wordpress doesn't allow FTP uploads! *tears hair out* So why are there websites telling me that I can upload custom themes? Then, I read somewhere that there's a difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org. Why so complicated?!

Then, there was the onslaught of error messages. Computers... Ok, perhaps it's not their fault. It drives me absolutely nuts to get the error messages that goes something along the lines of:
Error code:  bskx... whatever yadda

Import failed due to server error...

Error... Error... Error...

Oh my gosh... Why can't it just explain clearly what went wrong, in plain English. Or Mandarin. Or pop a genie out and clear the mess up for me with a snap of his fingers.

I took a module on web designing when I was doing my Diploma in Business (what has HTML got to do with Marketing 101, or Intro to Tourism?!) and barely passed the module with a C grade on a website about hamsters.

I think it's still easier to work with troubled youths than with computers. At least, I've never destroyed a keyboard working with them. :)
