Let me get the excuses over with first. I was short on time and ideas for this toon. Then when I had it all finished I had system issue that corrupted the file, so I had to re-do it.
Anyway, it is funny how people think we IT geeks love PCs so much we want to spend our spare time working on PCs. OK, i do spend my time doing that, but my own PCs. I have successfully educated everyone as I meet them. When folks find out what I do there is a spark in their eye until I set them straight. My favorite shirt to wear is my “No, I will not fix your computer shirt”. I make sure everyone sees me in it at some point.
Just say:
“Sure, I’d love to take a look at your computer! By the way, I charge $20/hour.”
Amazing how it shuts them off. If it doesn’t, and you still don’t want to, raise your rate next time.
That’s really kind of funny when you consider if a guy drives a truck he would think you were crazy if you wanted him to come over and haul around some stuff for free.
Hope your vacation is going well. By the way my computer is acting funny. ( HEHEHE)
