Will this be the last time I do this

Every now and then I go through the list of applications installed on my laptop as a clean-up exercise. It’s amazing how many applications get installed that I forget about. I don’t expect any performance benefit from doing this, I’m just trying to get id of some of the clutter.

One of the programs that always gets deleted as I tidy up is the Microsoft Network Monitor Tool. It always gets deleted because every time I do the clean up activity I haven’t used it for months. But why do I keep reinstalling it?

It’s a great tool for problem solving, especially if you know how to read the data. I’ve managed to work my way out of all sorts of problems using the information that it gives me. But problem solving isn’t my real job, it’s just something I get pulled in to do when things need some detailed analysis.

So I uninstall Network Monitor again, I can’t see a reason why I would need it, it’s no longer part of my role, so why would I need it.

I wonder whether this will be the last time that I uninstall it though. Do I really think that my problem solving days are over? Have I really turned my back on that part of my life? We’ll see .
