You want what...???
Anyway, the moral of the story is , don't make promises, don't judge and don't even think about it! LOL, I'm sorry guys, dunno what I was thinkin when I am writing this post. Anyway, last night I did a screw up..., and I can't help it, but to think about it over and over and over.....
The Scene : I was in my class, web programming 410, enjoying surfing the web, while the teacher has spent the last 3 hours talking "yak yak yak yak yikity yak yak.." While Lydia kept on working on her half ass done homework, David and Aileen didn't stop looking at my screen like I was doing porno or criminal hacking activity, while this bald huge guy... (I always called him WWE) because he looks like Stone Cold (Steve Austin) only nicer and tamer version, cannot stop warning me about David''s and Aileen's suspicious activities behind my laptop screen. Joey was watching porn, I knew him very well....
What Happened : My phone vibrates, I turned it off because it was a private number anyway. But then a minute later another private number calls me, so I stepped outside. Apparently an old dude that got my phone number from her sister, his sister works with me, and sometimes pays me to do some light computer work. His name is "Neal" So Neal called me and wanted to know how much for would I charge for him to do some computer work, and of course I was being a good sport and I told him because he's my co-worker's brother, I'm giving him all the service for 50 bucks. Dirt cheap compared to your regular computer tech service you got from your neighborhood store.
Annoyances.org : Happens when he said he wanted me to shop around to upgrade his computer. Which originally needing a modem and an upgrade of RAM (Sure, how much price difference you can score anyway buying a 56 kbps dial-up modem?) . More, she said she would like the buy the parts online, I was about to say, "Dude, how the hell r u gonna go online and shop for dial-up modem, while your current modem is busted?" How the hell r u gonna connect to the internet? from your nostrils?
Freaky.com , happened when finally he told me his original intentions, he wanted to upgrade his computer from a windows 98 to windows XP. Imagine, only few souls have seen that happened. You're talking about 4 years forward? He needs to understand that prior to windows XP there is still millenium and 2000. And I know, major tune up is gonna be needed, and guess what? Major expenses, damn rite you cheap bastards. How do you expect a Hyundai can be upgraded to a Lexus?
Screwed.My.Ass.com later on when he said 200 - 300 bucks to upgrade his machine in order to be XP ready is waaayyy to expensive.. I forgot to mention, hhe also would need a copy of Windows XP, which will eventually costs about 100 bucks. Now I'm thinkin, How the hell 50 bucks is going to compensate my service for doing all that??? Later on he gave me her # so that i can come over on Friday. Dude, for 50 bucks you might as well just save it for a pack of CD-RW's and then go to the Public Libraly to get online, burn your CD's in there. and you can probably still get 20 bucks back to spend online on your dial-up modem!
