Well, he's 35, good looking in the European way, professional male model, exceptionally fit, 6'6" with a deep bedroom voice... If he's managed to alienate every available female out there, that's his fault!
Yeah, I know too much about this man. I've been privy to his "boy" chats with his man friends, (shudder - most women would have quit...), and heard the ups and downs of his dating exploits and tolerated his total disregard for women in general. As I am not his type and 7 years older, I've managed to become his work mother/wife/sister. The amount of disgust I have for him changes on a daily basis and is soooooooooooooooo close to becoming hatred on some days, it's scary. In 10 years of computer troubleshooting, with an average of at least 2 calls per week, I have a 99% average in fixing the horrible metal boxes. It's not often that I can't find and fix the problem - and even if I can't fix it, I can explain why and possible fixes. Maybe I will do as you said Louis. Time to start thinking big instead of small.. A lot of the other Mobile "techs" (I use the term loosely.. some have been shoddy) have faded out. Maybe it's time to shine again. :D I pulled out when there were lots of school leavers trying to make a quick buck and were out there formatting everyone's machines. You only format as the last choice. I always guarantee data recovery. Strangely enough, for the last year or so of working for myself (over 12 months ago), I was always called out to fix other techy "fixes:". Sort of says a lot, doesn't it? Some still call, all this time later, as I've been the only one to fix their problems. Well, enough rambling - time to get some work done. LOL Better get the payroll done for the 30 odd boilermakers here. I Do Not want to be in the firing line if wages are late! (eek) Oh, and in the paper craft field - I'm half way through building one of the Haunted mansions. I'm doing ... Um... The one with the atrium. I've printed the windows and the atrium on transparences and hopefully tonight I'll take some photos of the semi finished building. I'm loving it. :D Mandy But when he smiles for real and actually looks at me, it's quite sexy..... Like just 15 minutes ago! I can't cope with this!! Plus with his European personal space, it can get quite breath catching here... But I don't let him know! mwaaa ha ha ha http://craftandsuch.blogspot.com/ http://www.pcgirl.com.au ----- Original Message ----- From: Louis To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2009 1:00 PM Subject: [Papermodels II 34524] Re: OT Re: [Papermodels II 34517] Re: test Well Mandy, Start thinking your business as a "BIG" business and it will grow to that level. Approach companyies, etc. That is what I did. I am a architect and I went from doing home reno's for mum & dads when I first started off to far larger projects (commercial, industrial, residential) which help to pay the bills and some. I work hard but I ge to keep the money (after paying Mr taxman (Mr. Swan's bagmen) ). Louis PS. I had to laugh at your comment: It's not my fault that he's "not getting any action!" 2009/2/17 Mandy <[email protected]> I used to run a mobile business fixing computers, but it too never paid the bills. I'd like to get it good enough to do again - but it's exhausting work. Being a female, most of my customers where the vulnerable types. Single parents, the elder generations (one was 97 years old!), the infirm and the sole occupants. They aren't the richest and therefore, I never got more than pocket money from it. <sigh> Could never charge them very much. It just felt wrong! The boss has gone out and hopefully he'll come back in a better mood. Maybe he realised that he's being mean today. It's not my fault that he's "not getting any action!" Hang on - did you say fictitious business name? LOL I've got one of them "The PC Girl".. :D http://craftandsuch.blogspot.com/ http://www.pcgirl.com.au ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul McCool To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2009 12:16 PM Subject: [Papermodels II 34521] Re: OT Re: [Papermodels II 34517] Re: test Technically, I could consider myself self-employed, as I do have a fictitious business name and do occasionally get paid for doing notaries, but it's not enough to make a living on.

I work from home also since walking out of my last job because I couldn't stant the antiquated practices of the company I was with. Going to my 14th year on my own and would not go back working for a "Boss". Louis 2009/2/17 Paul McCool <[email protected]> Nope. Been unemployed since October of '07. The wife's boss is too cool to ever yell. Too busy working on his fire truck, too. (Too many too's?)
