so i have unofficially started my business: computer repair. A lady at work needed her comp fixed after getting the blaster worm. lots of updated needed to be applied. 400 some odd spyware item removed when i installed adaware. man great program adaware is. fkin spyware can fubar your comp. they leech cpu cycles and track your internet usage. yucky stuff. a lady at my mom’s work needed her machine patched after getting the blaster worm. also many updates needed to be applied. couple days ago she needed the comps at her worm patched for the blaster worm. i kinda like this stuff. it is easy to do. i just run the sarc blaster removal tool and then apply the patch. easy money.
i’m currently charging $20/hr which is like 50-80 bux cheaper than what the local comp shops charge. why would someone wanna pay that much when they want the problem fix asap. i drive to them and make every attempt to fix the problem there. if not, i bring their comp home with me to do what is needed.
did my 1st tower climb last week. was interesting. i wasnt scared that bad, more tired of climbing this self-supporting tower. you climb up on pegs that are unevenly spaced on each side about 3ft appart. the belts on my climbing harness always get caught. i got up prolly to the 100ft level before calling it quits and climbing back down. im prolly gunna have to climb again on tuesday, to around 160ft to adjust a dish. not too fun on a hill that is about 1000ft tall. windy. i hope there is no wind that day and i can complete my work quickly and get down. i think i will talk to my boss and see if he will give me any hazard pay. otherwise i might not do the climb. $8/hr isnt worth my life.
speaking of work, it is rather depressing me. occasionally there is the kool incident. like when we showed up at a customers house. he said he would be at work but the house was open and for us to fix his internet connection. much my coworkers and myself and this woman in the house suprise we were there. she was standing in the doorway completely naked. she freaked for a sec and then ran to get some clothes on. unfortunately for me i was looking down where i was walking and completely missed the entire incident. wtfh. my coworker mumbled something and i looked up and she was gone. damnit. oh well.
so i put in an app at a local hospital looking for an IT tech. they preferred someone with an associates degree. i dont have mine yet, but i hope my certifications and my experience make up for that. i have yet to hear back from them. i should call them.
still walking teh earth alone. oh well.
i like the evanescence song “going under”. video is pretty sweet. today i downloaded like 6 mp3 albums. most are good. also did a lot of yardwork, cleaning up the back acre of my mom’s property. lots of trees/brush to be cut down. love the exercise.
i’m going under
drowning in you
i’m falling forever
i’ve got to break through
i’m going under
