Having IT skills is both a gift and a curse... it feels like a curse when everyone starts coming to you to solve their problems.

I remember a case when my roomate and I (he was a computer science major) had to install XP on a blind girl's laptop. The hard drive was not fully compatible, so we had to create a custom-made XP installation disc with the necessary drivers slipped into it (so that it would install properly). It worked like a charm and the installation was successful. Then we installed special software for blind people that reads everything on the screen. The girl was very happy, and this laptop helped her take her exams successfully and graduate on her own, without needing anyone's help. We were really proud of ourselves :)

Of course, there were lots of other people with more trivial problems, but we never turned anyone away. Such nice guys we were :P
