I can't get no.....no no no.....

I wish I could say I've satisfied EVERY customer who's come to me with a problem; I wish I could say it without lying.

Truth is, I do alright...but 'alright', doesn't make me as happy as perfection would. I hate...I mean I HATE...leaving a job without the work done right, complete and to everyone's satisfaction. Folks have an expectation when they engage me that I'll satisfy them ... It's a realistic expectation, and I try hard...so very hard to exceed that expectation.

But if/when I don't make the grade (and don't get me wrong, it doesn't happen often) I WON'T ever, ever take a dime for my time. You have a right to have your expectations met. My customers can rest easy knowing I'm going to bust my ... my jewels ... to make them glad they called.

Better than anything ... yes, better than my fee....is hearing you say "Thanks. You made my day" whenever I've completed a job. I work hard trying to make friends out of customers; to get them back to seeing how computing can be fun again.

Put me to work for you. I bet you'll be pleased you did.

Look up in the sky...Was that a Comment?...or..."How to leave a comment at a blog site"

Some of my no-nonsense readers have been so kind as to speak up and say that this blogging thing is cool, 'But how do I leave a comment!' Well to me it all seemed so intuitive and easy. Then I tried again tonight and now I feel your pain.

To post a comment at the end of an article look for the small selectable print that says Comment . Click it to open a new window.
There will be a spot at the lower right to click 'Anonymous'; after selecting that you can fill in your comment. Be cordial and friendly, but brutally honest. And type in your name or whatever nick name you like, so I know which voodoo doll to stick pins in.

Glad just to be Alive

Yes I know...this is a site about computers. But, every once in a while I wake up just DAMN glad to be alive. And its times like this I think to myself, what can I share with my readers that is NO cost and kinda fun. YES...I really do think that...don't try and say I don't really....cause I DO.

And the link tied to the heading of this post is just such a share. My father, a member of the early HUMAN Potential Movement, was fond of telling people when asked that he thought of himself as an Portrait ART teacher, helping people to paint better pictures of themselves. I've always liked that thought.

So this POST is a diversion....a fun little opportunity to experiment with YOUR artistic talents, always remembering: 'If it worked for Jackson Pollock why not ME?'

Have fun, live long and prosper.

Oh PS....What made me feel so good? Somebody left a word of encouragement in the comments. See? With life, it's the LITTLE things....
