- Me
Thursday, May 13, 2010
I am sick and tired of being free tech support for everyone. I hated being PAID tech support.
I am not a genius. I am no smarter than anybody else.
I am not a GURU.
Everyone should call the Geek Squad at Best Buy for a basic estimate just for them
to look at their computer and the time it will take for them to find out what is
going wrong before asking me to fix whatever they need fixed.
The price quote they receive SHOULD put things into perspective for them.
With the skills and knowledge I have, I should be charging more than the Geek Squad.
While working freelance for a local computer store, I was making $75/hour.
Now, instead of being paid, I get called 'guru', 'my tech guy', and other things of the like.
This comic (http://ping.fm/oXjuM)
is not funny to me because I am the tech in the comic. It is funny, no doubt.
But when it's you doing the outrageous work for pretty much nothing
it gets quite aggravating.
It is an accurate depiction of what I go through.
This pic make my point very clear.
For the record, I am in a pretty good mood. The animals aren't bugging me at all.
I don't feel 'weird' like I have over the last week or so. I finally feel normal.
The point of this paragraph is to point out that I am not typing an angry email.
On the contrary. I am quite clear headed. My statements are accurate.
Part of my disability is a lack of ability to deal with others in what some would call a normal way.
That is why I take almost 30 pills a night. It is a requirement.
Otherwise I'll flip out and possibly do something awful.
I'm lucky that nothing happened this time.
Sometimes I get really nervous and can't speak to anyone.
Other times I am just looking for someone to piss me off
just a little bit more so I can scrape their face on the curb.
Maybe this should put MY mental state into perspective for everybody else..
I would say I am sorry about my person, but I refuse to
apologize for being me. I am almost 40.
I am stuck in my ways. This will not change until the
day I die. Hopefully, that will be at least another 30+ years from now.
That's it for now.
