🌸How I Accidentally Became the IT Department in My Own House🌸Comedy for Women Who Never Applied for This Job🌸Home of the SCE™ Method, RISE Softly™ & C.A.L.M. RISE™ Elements

 

Let me start with a confession.

I never applied to be in the IT department.

I never submitted a CV.

I never attended an interview.

I never said, “Yes, I would love to troubleshoot everyone’s devices for the rest of my life.”

Here I am.

🌿 The Moment Your Family Decides You’re “The Tech One”

Maybe you explained what a password manager is.

Maybe you plugged in a cable correctly on the first try.

🌸 The Printer Incident (AKA: My Villain Origin Story),

Just print one page.

One.

Single.

Page.

Printers are demons.

Then it said it was online.

Then it said it was out of paper.

Then it said it had paper but refused to acknowledge it.

Then it printed half a page and stopped like it needed a nap.

CAN I FIX IT???

I can explain neural networks.

I can build workflows.

I can understand AI models.

Printers are chaos.

🌸 The WiFi Crisis of 2024,

They typed the password wrong.

So you walk over, type the exact same password, and magically it works.

That’s it.

That’s the magic.

🌿 Why Women Become the IT Department (My Theory)

🌸 The Cursed HDMI Cable

Nothing happens.

You press buttons.

Still nothing.

You change the input.

Still nothing.

You unplug it and plug it back in.

Still nothing.

I stand by this.

🌿 Why This Actually Makes Women Perfect for DeepTech?

All this unpaid tech labour?

It builds real skills.

AI needs that.

Innovation needs that.

🌿 Final Thought: I Didn’t Choose the IT Life — The IT Life Chose Me

It’s thankless.

It’s unpaid.

It’s chaotic.

You are intelligent.

You are adaptable.

You are a natural innovator.

You are already doing deeptech — every single day.

But you’re thriving in it anyway.

And yet…

Somehow, somewhere along the way, I became:

• the WiFi whisperer,

• the printer therapist,

• the HDMI cable negotiator,

• the “why is my phone doing this?” hotline,

• the “can you fix it?” person.

And I know — I KNOW — you’re nodding right now because this is the universal experience of every woman who knows even 1% more tech than the people around her, at least that was me, I know a "little" bit more because I had to do it on my own, and this is how I learn.

You open one Google Doc without crying, and suddenly, you’re the CTO of the household.

Welcome to the unpaid, unrequested, emotionally draining world of Domestic IT Support.

Let’s talk about it.

It always starts small.

Maybe you helped someone connect to the WiFi once.

And suddenly, your entire family looks at you like you’re a Silicon Valley prodigy.

You fix ONE thing, and now you’re:

• the router resetter,

• the smart TV updater,

• the “why is Netflix asking me to sign in again?” troubleshooter,

• the “my phone storage is full” therapist.

It’s like tech competence is contagious — but only in one direction.

Let me tell you about the day I almost threw a printer out the window.

It was supposed to be simple.

But printers?

First, it said it was offline.

Meanwhile, my family is standing behind me like:

“Can’t you just fix it?”

CAN I FIX IT? I suppose I can try.

I work in deeptech.

But printers? THEY ARE EVIL and mean

🌿 10 AI Prompts to Supercharge Your Confidence in Tech — Free TechSheThink Guide

If you can fix a printer, you can learn AI. Trust me.

Another classic.

Someone yells from another room:

“THE WIFI ISN’T WORKING!”

Translation:

But no — they insist something is wrong with the router.

And they look at you like you’re Gandalf.

“Wow… how did you do that?”

I typed it correctly, Susan.

Here’s my honest opinion:

Women become the IT department because we have:

• patience,

• intuition,

• emotional intelligence,

• pattern recognition,

• the ability to troubleshoot without panicking,

• the ability to read instructions,

• the ability to Google things properly.

Meanwhile, men troubleshoot like:

“I unplugged it, and now it’s worse.”

If you’ve ever tried to connect a laptop to a TV, you know the pain.

You plug it in.

Then someone else walks in, touches NOTHING, and suddenly it works.

HDMI cables are sentient.

A 6‑week transformation for women in deeptech who want to lead with clarity, softness, and confidence — not burnout.

Let’s talk about the emotional side.

When you’re the IT department, you’re not just fixing devices; you're fixing the person who uses them.

You fixing:

• panic,

• frustration,

• confusion,

• impatience,

• unrealistic expectations,

• the fear of “breaking something”.

People hand you their devices like they’re handing you a newborn baby.

“Please be careful.”

It’s a phone, Karen.

Here’s the twist:

Women who fix household tech become:

• excellent troubleshooters,

• intuitive problem‑solvers,

• emotionally intelligent leaders,

• patient innovators,

• adaptable thinkers,

• natural educators.

Deeptech needs that.

Women don’t just fix problems.

Where deeptech meets feminine intelligence, humour, and emotional ease.

Being the household IT department is exhausting.

But it also proves something important:

You are capable.

You didn’t choose the IT life.

IT life chose you.

And deeptech needs women exactly like you and me.
