A Bitter View

My Windows Xp was reinstalled. Which wiped out 90% of my programs like I figured. I’ll have to break out My Pc Relocator again to save time.

Man its funny, now that summer’s here dude act up. What I mean is that im now getting calls for help with their computer. When I was free, nobody was thinking about my ass. Irony at its best I say. I’ve been teaching during the day and going & working at school at night. Now I have little time to do much else, let alone the energy at least till the weekend.

Associate #1 - A friend of my brothers to help out problem solving his computer. I’m only able to work on it on weekends but I told them I’d do it to help them save money. I consider it my Pro Bono since I want the experience. Evidently dudes be impatient and now wants his computer back claiming it doesn’t take that long to fix one. That is true but at the same time in the words of Butthead “Hey, It was Free Asswipe!” If homey wants to spend big bucks to get it done he can get it his self.

Client 2# - A friend through teaching asking me to help her out in removing “viruses” from her comp which is most likely Spyware. She asked me for help in front of the kids which sounded too suggestive and the kids ate that shit up.

Her: Tell you what? Why don’t you come over and come see it, I’ll be home all weekend.

Me: okay!

Them: ooooooh! Fer Real Mr. Smith?!

Me: Shut it up.

Client #3 – I’ve been waiting on this dude to call. It seems like he’s hunted me down. Which is just as well we had to connect eventually to finalize shit. I had his domain name for the past few years and told him I’ve been renewing it to save it from squatters. When he reached me we agreed he would reimburse me for the 2 years and I moved the domain account into his name. One solved.

Client #4 – I got a call from them asking me about an email wanting $95 bucks or their service will be shut off. I never sent that and because the school faculty were getting the same type of emails. I told him to just delete it and don’t open it.

Client #5 – My cuz is trying to get his site back up and running and his boy is gonna hold it down till I have time to create it. He needs FTP access and we’ve been playing tag with the phone for a while even on our messengers.

So that sums up 5 potential clients. Two im gonna collect from hopefully, and the others are in the air. Whether time allows me to help them out remains to be seen. On the real I feel like I’m letting a lot of people down for some reason and that’s one of the main things I loathe to do when people depend on me.
