daftykinswell that was an interesting afternoon, a client lures me up to their home seeking help cancelling a recurring PayPal payment, she has very little patience so gives up often16:28
daftykinsthen of course there are additional requests that are only revealed afterward, Skype not working on an iPad - and channels missing from a TV16:29
daftykinsadding call credit to the wrong account was the trick for Skype, then having moved the TV recently they'd yanked on the coax and pulled the centre core out of the wall for the TV 16:29
daftykinsphew :P16:30
penguin42haha17:37
penguin42that's a fixer of really random probkems17:38
daftykinsthey always hide the jobs from you at first! a cunning strategy17:38
daftykinsamusingly the paypal account did seem to have message history of an attempt to ask for help, but was mostly one sided "hello, is there anyone there?" xD17:42
zxmpi_i have been called out to install a printer and ended up working out how to program the washing machine :-)20:24
penguin42how do you work that, just charge by the hour and do anything you cna?20:26
zxmpi_some it's charge by the hour, others it's write a list and email/sms/fax it to me first20:27
zxmpi_for some folk if they brought in a system from home and it was there when i was in their office i'd look at it while waiting for the job i was there for to complete. good customers you look after20:40
