BAH TO PEOPLE!

Friggin customers. I do a flat rate of $49 for my services. Usually this works out well, and I stay at the place for an average of an hour. BUT every so often I get one that wants me basically to camp out at their house and wants me to almost clean their yard.

 

This happened today.

 

I go to Sybil’s house, and start looking at her first machine. She had tipped it over and the heatsink had busted off, thus totally frying the processor. The motherboard clip was broken so it was useless. I tried to put in another mobo I happened to have, but that wouldn’t fit properly. I recommended to her that she just get a new machine because the other isn’t worth fixing really. That was a no-go. She’s looking at spending $70 on parts and has $50 in labor to me. That’s almost half of a new machine. I’d say that it’s a pretty good example of the law of diminishing returns…

 

Time for some Counter-Strike; more on this later.
