Me actualy
A few years ago I worked for a couple of years at a home for people with learning difficulties. As with the entire sector, paperwork and such has grown in amount massively over the last decade or so, and to cut down on paper a lot of paperwork was done on the computer, emails and such.
Of course I thought I was being smart because I was the only person (I thought) who knew how to touch type, send emails with attachments, where to find downloaded files and set up printers etc... just the normal everyday computery things that took up a lot of my managers time. As I'm sure you've guessed this was pretty dumb on my part. I found out 2 things rather quickly. Firstly, my manager was damn lazy and had me doing a lot of boring tedious computer based work, and secondly quite a few of my colleagues knew how to do these things but had been smart enough to play dumb when asked and not volunteer themselves for a tonne of extra work.
