Not at 3 in the morning and a system still isn't working, lol and it's due out in the morning at 8 for pickup.
I have a lot of time tho as theirs weeks where i have nothing in, so i'm skint. Mind you i get old systems, make em up and fix em and sell them on, got 3 i'm working on at the min, including 1 my dad wants, upgrading from an athlon 1.4 to a p4 2.4 and it's cost nothing, just £30 off the price of a new system i did for a mate.

LOL.
It depends on what people want, some are 2 hours start to finsh (including windows/linux installation and drivers).
Others need 4-5 hours work (when dealing with raid systems, or multiple raid sytems on 1 pc, lol).
And servers are a pain, weather just an email server or a full blown zeon/optron web server.

not quite ready yet, we have been offered a few here in kent but untill we are ready its best to leave until we are sure, as if you run a pub/restaurant, and you make a bad job of it, you will find it hard to find somewhere else. we might be running a new beefeater opening here soon, its great money and no bills! sweeeet! if you got places down here make me an offer! lol ;D

Your job sounds cool John but I don't think I could do anything where I had to be stuck inside all day. My uncle is really good with computers but sadly is no good at actually getting business or working to a schedule. He used to work for a big company but since it closed he hasn't been able to find a job to do with what he is good at and isn't any good at working for himself.
Anyway I am only 15 at the minute but when I leave school my plan is to become a vet and naturally specialize in animals. Also fancy going to America to get a degree in herpetology but I don't know how I will fit that in. lol

I`m a housewife with 3 teenage children my hubby is unemployed and is finding it hard to get a job anywhere even close to where we live. I was almost crippled for 8 years with 3 prolapsed discs in my back and he had to care for me and do everything in the house. Two years ago i got the 3 discs removed from my lower back and it really has helped but i can have my off days and my very off days so it would help if he could get a job that he wouldnt have to travel for hours there and back.
