Computer related:

  • Don't be your family computer savy guy, you just found yourself a bunch payless jobs...
  • Long desks are cool and all, but the amount the space they occupy is not worth it.
  • Block work related phone calls at weekends, being disturbed at your leisure for things that could be resolved on Mondays will sour your day.

Buying stuff:

  • There is expensive because of brand and expensive because of material quality, do your research.
  • Buck buying is underrated, save yourself a few bucks, pile that toilet paper until the ceiling is you must.
  • Second hand/broken often means never cleaned, lubricated or with easy fixable problem.

That's fair. I look at it for free if they bring it over but I charge 25 with a 3 hour minimum if there's any work. Most people say no thanks, I helped an older lady replace her hard drive and didn't actually charge her even though she wanted to pay since it really was just 5 minutes to order a new one and 10 to change it out once it got here. She gave me some homemade cookies so it was a good deal for me.
