Shouldn't the surge of the urge be in there somewhere?

IT staff are 50% geeks, 50% technophobes
Sums me up nicely. The geek side of me enjoyed getting machines to do what I wanted them to - and the fact that this was something useful, and hence that I got paid for it, was a bonus. However as time went on I found myself increasingly reluctant to immerse myself in new technology, such as networking (although I was fine once I'd got into it). Saw myself as a high-tech Luddite. Retirement came just at the right time.
