After watching Diggnation yesterday, I came to realize why I burnt out on PC repair. It’s wild, but the link they were talking about hit the nail right on the head for me personally, as it is so true. It was almost creepy to read the previously linked description as its accuracy is so close, it gave me chills. While not so much agreeing with number one in the list, or even number two for that matter, points three through ten are pretty much spot on.
I cannot tell you how many times I go to some unnamed appointment, only to have my past as a “repair guy” come up to prep things for the onslaught of coming repair questions – it’s really annoying. What’s comical is even after retiring from repair world, I still have people asking me repair questions. Yeah, it’s wild.
Now, I am happy to help via Just Ask Matt, as I can queue the questions and I am able to help my fellow geeks, rather than people who take the advice for granted. Have any of you ever experienced this? Are you finding that you are on the receiving end of the kind of circumstances described in the link above? If so, hit the comments and vent to the rest of us about your woes.
