Calm down Themy. Seriously that can't be healthy for you. Whatever tablets the doctor gave you, take double the dosage. Or just stop taking them.

I'm going to take a stab here, but you've got an MCSE haven't you?

I'm fine, just felt like spouting off.

No MCSE here, no A+ and no Net+. Lots of MCP's but I seldom do anything that has much to do with them. If I had my preference, I’d still be bending wrenches, which was my second occupation and something that I actually enjoyed. But old age and a blown out elbow dictated other wise. After the doc pinned, stapled, and stitched me back together, twice, he suggested that I find something easy to do. I had already taught myself the hardware end of it. And had some formal training on dc electronics back in the 70’s. So I took some classes on 2K and went looking for a job. I couldn’t get anyone to even read my resume, so I hung out my own shingle. Got lots of clients did lots of work and almost lost my butt after the 2K build out. So I sold my business and went to back work at a government agency as a volunteer just to force my foot in the door. Then to make things worse, the guy I sold out to couldn’t make his payments to the bank and I ended up getting 65% of it back. So to make a long story short, now I do 40+ a week for the state on a no bid contract and 15 to 40 more for A&K Ltd. More or less everything I really needed to know was learned on the job, and I brought the problem solving and customer support skills with me. I should take the last two exams and get my MCSE, but just don’t have the time. On top of the hours I work, there is a 120 mile a day commute. As I type this, the servers are grinding away on offsite backups and the printer is hammering away on verification logs. And since it’s almost the 15th, soon as the printer is free, I’ll start printing invoices for the dead beats that have yet to pay July’s billing. Then because tomorrow is pay day, I’ll be printing out checks for the 8 most over paid people in the known world. After that I’ll sleep till 4am and start it all over again. Almost forgot, I still need to put today’s tapes in the safe and set tomorrows exchanges up so the lazy *** currier can pick them up at 9:30-10:00 and then complain about all the traffic she has to fight. I don’t suppose you’d be in the market for controlling interest in an IT support business specializing in disaster recovery and SBS installations/support?
