I work for a living. I put in around 20 hours a week into a non-profit. I also get called on to work on lots of computer issues for free, and I want it to stop.
I am known around these parts as the person that fixes computer problems. I have reasonable skills and typically do the work required at a professional level. However, I am doing most of this for free and lots of people are taking advantage of me. Not all though, some offer money, some feed my children and some offer contra in the form of cartons of beer, or bottles of wine. Some even go out of their way and do something in return, like help around the yard, etc. I have no problems with this minority.
It is the people that expect me to work on their computer for no return and usually have the audacity to push their time frames on to me that this article is about.
I really need to take charge of this aspect of my life and now is the time. I will post here aboiut my progress :)
