    Dean at my college makes 4x my salary, he thinks I personally invented “VPN” to confuse him and make his life difficult

      It must be frustrating to think of oneself as king of the knowledge hill, only to be reminded by life all the time that, well, no. Of course they lash out. Can’t be them that is the problem.

        Well, running with the analogy of a knowledge hill…not everyone can be at the top of the hill, and nobody can remain at the top of the hill indefinitely, and there is likely another hill that is higher.

        Try to find enjoyment at the top of your current hill, help others up, and look to the horizon for your next summit. Being angry about a job you chose, or performing it poorly, seems like you are only injuring yourself.
