Well, for reasons I don't fully understand, I am involved in the writing of another comedy site. Unfortunately, the site has not gone live yet, so instead of a link, here is my current contribution to the world of laughter and tears:
Hooray! As promised, the text of that post. But no link, the site is not yet live.
I am a bad man
I often abuse screws. You know...those dirty filthy whores of screwdrivers. I deliberately strip 'em when I'm done with them. When I'm finished ravaging them there's no way anything else is fitting in the top properly! Then I toss them away like garbage
Capitalistic ventures ahoy! I'm actually getting calls again for my freelance tech work. Mostly I go to people's homes and act as though I know exactly what's going on. I used to be perfectly honest with customers. "Gosh, I'm not sure what's wrong, but I'll see if I can't figure it out".
This does not instill confidence, but if you act confident during the work, they feel fine. Now, if you extend that confidence to the entire process, from handshake to check collection, the people involved feel so much better and act happier. You could ask the customer to please pick up the smoking bit of debris that just popped out of his computer and skittered along the floor. If you act like it was exactly what you intended to happen, they won't question you. As long as nothing phases you but the most incredibly shocking things, the customer will usually feel that you have everything under control. This includes when you recoil in horror and run screaming for your car.
"I'm sure he just needs to get some parts from Mexico or where ever he said he was headed".
Keep your receipts!
