Where has all my time gone!
Since Feb I have been on the go none stop, if it was not work then it was training, if it was not training then I would be seeing my girlfriend. Any free time in between is taken up with "Oh, can you help a friend of mine with his computer?" favours. Although I get paid for these sorts of things it is becoming more hassle than it's worth. I get a phone call from a friend wanting to know if I can help one of their friends sort out something really simple like advising on Broadband/VoIP/Skype/upgrading. So I agree and expect to be in and out with in an hour. When I turn up at their house they then inform me of the 1001 problems with their steam powered PC and they expect me to fix it with in the allotted hour. This really hacks me off!!!!! Once I have given their SP PC a health check I give them a list of what is wrong and they look at me with a blank expression as I explain to them politely that if the had read the bloody manual then they would not be in the state they are now. Come on, how hard is it to install a free Fire Wall or Anti Virus?
Though I do get my own back when I explain to them that because they do not have any security on their SP PC that any transactions they have carried out on it may well have been compromised ad they should check ALL their bank statements. This has them shitting bricks.
My prices will now be in line with the pros and i hope that puts them off trying to hire me. Or maybe I should be a right git and send them down to PC WORLD. Mwwwahahahahhahahhaha!!!!!
