I have been living in DC for three weeks now, just enough time to have made the acquaintance of some of the people I share my workday with, even enough time to meet some strangers, study the eccentricities of my landlord, and contemplate the cracks and bumps of the sidewalk on my way to work. When I&#8217;m confronted by some person acting in an ordinary way, as for instance, when I was told by an office manager that I must use Internet Explorer and forbidden to use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/products\/firefox\/\">Mozilla Firefox<\/a>, my reaction was one of shock, shock at their playing so perfectly the part of some imaginary character approximating the performance of an office manager rather than being the chaotic and unpredictable human that they truly are. Why should I be stunned? That ordinary people advancing to positions of power would prefer caution to freedom, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Corporatism\">corporatism<\/a> to expression, and obedience to zeal should not surprise me like it does. And once again I am made aware of a dangerous and perhaps childish na\u00efvit\u00e9, to expect people to behave freely and respect freedom. I pray that I never meet their expectations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where I experience some pushback to using anything but Internet Explorer at work. <span style=\"color:#777\"> . . . &rarr; Continue reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/aharon.varady.net\/omphalos\/2004\/11\/orphaned-expectations\">Orphaned Expectations<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3460,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[80],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-adventure","odd"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Orphaned Expectations &#8226; Aharon&#039;s Omphalos<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/aharon.varady.net\/omphalos\/2004\/11\/orphaned-expectations\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Orphaned Expectations &#8226; Aharon&#039;s Omphalos\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Where I experience some pushback to using anything but Internet Explorer at work. . . . &rarr; Continue reading: Orphaned Expectations\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/aharon.varady.net\/omphalos\/2004\/11\/orphaned-expectations\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Aharon&#039;s Omphalos\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/aharonium\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:author\" content=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/aharonium\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2004-11-20T04:22:13+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-04-24T23:49:10+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/aharon.varady.net\/omphalos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/aharons-omphalos.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1257\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1487\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Aharon N.
