Sunday 11th- PC Repair man today!

Well, my computer qualifications in use today! I've picked up a PC repair job from a colleague at work, and as I was working on that one, another one came in.

The second one was simple enough - someone wanted to know why his computer froze, then crashed, when he tried to play a game. I connected everything up on my little workbench I'm allowed (!) in my executive office suite come dining room, switched it on, and after going through the settings, found out the computer was fast enough to play the game, but it only had 96Mb Ram.

Now, I don't want to sound like a geek or anything, but for those that don't know, Ram is the computers memory. Anyway, the mans game needed 128Mb, and prefably 256Mb Ram, so you can see why a computer with only 96Mb froze - then crashed!

The first job - the one I'm getting paid for - is more difficult. Won't boot up at all, and it's one of these super modded things (think customised cars). The Power Supply Unit's gone in this one, so I'm on tne net in the morning after charging my credit card and buying one in for the repair.

Should have that up and running by next wekend for him, depending on delivery times etc.

Then I did another 3 hours gardening, and after all this, I've got my spreadsheets up to date and I'm ready for bed.

Not bad considering I didn't get up until 10 this morning after the Window Fitter Scandal earlier this week. 12 hours sleep! Totally unheard of in my world. And believe it or not, I'm still tired now, and have been most of the day too.

Should be back to normal tomorrow, body wise anyway! Which is just as well really as I've got a busy day. My two main things tomorrow are a trip to the doctors to collect my prescription for the stomach tablets I should have collected Friday when I overslept (have I mentioned the window fitter lately?)

I've had to buy some Gaviscon for the weekend as my tablets ran out Thursday.

And then I'm having to talk to the Vultures again, negoiating to try and keep them away from the door for another month. I'm having to cancel the Direct Debits I set up with them last month again as I'm paying them the normal month, but I can't afford the arrears payments they want.

So they'll have to have a normal months payment by debit card and like it.

Until tomorow

Paul
