That moment we are running out of space for all the repair units ... We must be doing something right.

As a business owner its hard ... Trying to do the right thing for the customers at the same time keep your doors open. Trying to find the balance of being helpful and charging what you are worth can be hard.

Tones of scam calls lately.
So just to let you know most scam callers do not know anything about cybersecurity.
Scammer : We are calling from tech support you have a virus on your network.
Me : Oh that sounds bad.
Scammer : What kind of computer are you running?

The hardest part of teaching seniors how to use computers is they are very dedicated to being "Not tech Savvy". Almost like it is their religion.
While there is nothing wrong with that ... except I am the one they are paying to get them past that concept.

That moment when you have a client who thinks their last tech guy hacked them because they used their phone while they upgraded them to windows 11 ...
No they were just checking Facebook.
Conspiracy theorists always have the worst passwords for people afraid of their own shadow.

I think the hardest part of fixing iPad screens is all the broken glass. It takes forever to get it all cleaned up. It's those tiny bits that still have some adhesive that seem to attach themselves to the hard to reach places.
Oh I can clean them up! it just takes time.

Ever notice how building a gaming PC is kinda like levelling up your character?
You start with the basics (CPU + RAM), grind through specs and part-picking, face the Boss Fight that is cable management, and finally… bask in the glow of RGB victory.
It’s not just about performance—

So we are finally moved into our new shop! Now comes the unpacking! At the moment it always seems to look like we do not have enough space ... until you put away all the harddrives ... then there is a little more space.

The move is going slow!
We just got the network set up.. so tomorrow I will set up the servers and the "Help desk"
It's slow mostly because I am the one person who works full time and have the least "Handy skills". This is what happens when you don't own any power tools.

Moving to the new shop gives us a chance to set up things right the first time. The last location had been there for 13 years and as much as we liked it there was a lot of things we could not change.
Though it does seem that our luck with good landlords is now a streak! We liked the last two as well

Well I was able to get an exemption from Jury Duty. While I do believe in the process and would like to do my civic duty , having jury duty while trying to move my shop with only part time help is a nightmare...
Lucky for me they took pity on me and gave me an exception.
