Welcome everyone back to dissecting popular IT nerds today.

Sharon Duneu.

Man, I just, we didn't have recorded what we couldn't have recorded before because if we had recorded that, again I've said many things that probably if I wind up dead again someday just remember that

it was not um it wasn't suicide wasn't suicide it could be could be something else well welcome to the

show senior level information technology, IT leader.

I was up all night last night, not all night last night, but I was up for a very long time trying to figure out.

And I'm kind of a technology guy trying to figure out how to replace two different types of thermostats in my house that

attached to two different HVAC units, which kind of goes, kind of goes hand in hand with the world

that you work in, which is somewhat connected to. Not really, no, loosely, right? Lusely.

You would think, you know, like an IT guy would be able to replace an analog thermostat, you know, but it's like a four wire thing.

And then we're going into a smart thing.

And, you know, it's like analog to digital.

And if anyone should be able to do it, I guess it should be me because I remember the old, you know, the televisions and computer screens were used to have to use a screwdriver to attach it to a keyboard.

Do you remember those days?

No, no, I can date myself that far back.

Maybe I could, but I wouldn't admit it, you know.

Welcome to the show, and we were speaking before in the past about the, just in general, the influence that

IT directors, IT managers, leaders have in the business world.

And it's kind of a mixed bag.

It's a mixed bag of companies that are still in the business world, and it's kind of a mixed bag. It's a mixed bag of companies that are still in the old school, companies that are in the

new school, and then there's this kind of like in-between thing here and there.

How do you feel about being stuck in the middle of all that and being part of that?
