Saturday mornings, waiting for an answer
After a full week at work, my father would sometimes spend Saturday morning on a support call, repeating the same details and still ending without a real fix. I was young, but the lesson stayed with me: a technology problem is not just technical. It takes time away from a person who has better things to do.
That is where care became part of the work for me. Solving the problem matters. Explaining it clearly matters. Respecting the person waiting for help matters.
