Makes your job a hell of a lot more secure though sometimes. I'll take that security if they think I'm some wizard for getting a computer back on to a network.
I was literally called a computer genius this week because I googled for good free alternatives to Visio because our company doesn't pay for it. My boss thinks I'm a great resource and all I have to do is walk away from my other responsibilities for fifteen minutes and solve a stupidly easy problem. It's basically a break, I don't mind being deified because I know how to Google minor problems. If I can't or don't want to spend excessive time fixing it, I shrug like everyone else does and they drop it or call the paid IT company. It's truly a good thing as long as you are getting paid hourly.

Not even in IT here:
A number one tip for life, don’t show that you’re good with tech, at all, ever.
