How could it possibly be a problem? When was the last time you used it?

How do you know this and how is she able to be an employee?

Somebody looking to criticize the younger generation, but fails to realize that we have advanced to where that system is no longer relevant.

It's antiquated. We have computers, you find the code, the find book that way.

We were going to hire a computer programmer from MIT the other day but the dumb frick didn't even know how to use a slide rule or an abacus. Stupid millennials and their pokemon and facespace.

I'm more concerned with old people that can't keep up with modern technology.

The only MIT grad I knew only had a problem with snorting coke like a beast. Good guy.

Was she a disadvantaged inner city youth who found it easier to get her hands on a Glock than a library book when she was growing up?

Yes. Old people who constantly look for out of date things that millennials don't know and constantly complain about for no other reason than to grasp at some desperate sense of self worth is a problem.

My 10 year old knows the Dewey Decimal system. You met an ignoramus.

ETA: Hey, ignorant downvoters, use the Dewey decimal system to find a dictionary to look up what ignoramus means. Or you could just google it.

Asked her to file something and discovered the deficit. Hard worker so we kept her but we don't ask her to do much in the front office. Unfortunately, I don't think her alma mater can measure up to Southern.
And yes, she's a blonde.
