what is this outside you talk about?

Just twirl in a circle into the feeling goes away.

WTF Conservatives? ....these people like getting screwed apparently lol

I started a computer repair business when i started school. The idea was to make money while being able to keep my schedule flexible. By the end of it, i was struggling completely to keep school in the schedule. I had gone from doing virus removal and simple repairs to developing and designing server/workstations for small businesses.

I was working on a friend's/customer's computer when i yanked out my netbook to download some programs and i said under my breath "jesus this netbook is running like shit"

To which he snapped "That's comforting, you can't even keep your computer running right"

and i snapped back with "Shit yea dude! i work on computers every-effin-day, when i get time to myself that last thing i want to do is whip out my junk and start working on it, no profit in working on my own computers!"

The entire time i ran that business, my computers all went to shit.....i never worked on them.

oh no doubt.

With the imminent fear of being laid off i have started taking on side jobs again, just to hoard cash in case that happens.

For the last three days i have been writing html and css code by hand because i don't want to dish out the $200 for dreamweaver.

if i type <a href="idon'tgiveashit.aboutyourdamnwesbite.com><img src="ihateyou.jpg></a> one more time into Notepad++ my head may explode.

And i made the mistake of fixing one tattoo machine power supply for my friend, and now i have six stacked up beside me waiting to be troubleshot.

I always seem to be back there.
My tirck is to ust to cut rate freelance IT work. Usually for residential clients. Things like virus clean ups, system tuning, wireless configuration etc and so on. Hanging your shingle up on Kijiji and Craigslist works. Plus flyering in your neighbourhood. You'll have to undercut the legit shops in town enough to make it attractive to the user. In your area with all the small shop competition that would be $35-$30 per issue. But in the burbs of MIssissauga, or Etobicoke you could pull $50 an issue.

Best of luck to you!!! I feel so bad because I know how shitty is to feel money slowly drain away and to be just clutching on trying to hold out for that new money to come back in!! We've sold furniture, cashed in my retirement fund, maxed out our credit cards (which are thankfully not that big) and budgeted the hell out of each month to prevent extra spending.

Keep your hope up!!

*happy nerd dance*

Good job on your first exam now...goog luck on you next one!!

ooooo! I hope we have a girls night when you get back! xo

Good luck on your exam Weds. I'd say to change your environment when studying, about every hour or so, but not too drastically. Just go from room to room, or a place conductive to studying that you haven't been for awhile. Keep mixing it up.

Gah, just one thing after another.
