wish in one hand...

i think i'd have fun working in a little two or three person PC repair shop, like the one i went to last week.

i think it would be fun diagnosing and solving people's busted 'puter issues. this is an area that i really excelled in at school, and i couldn't wait for the professors to reveal stuff that i didn't know yet about how to improve one's computing experience through the joy of functioning interconnected machinery. i'm really geeky like that.

the thought process goes something like this: X doesn't work. ask self zillions of if/than questions. reconfigure machined components. repeat. run diagnosis software. analyze. repeat. X works.

i think i would have fun not driving ninety miles every day for work.

i like squeezing every snippit of performance out of machines, even those that are a little old and beat-up. TFG's old computer works pretty well these days. wish mine did. i'll fix it when the new motherboard arrives.

working in the box monitoring three different tv stations has kind of sucked the love out of working in live TV production. i'm just not so enthusiastic about it any more. i think i liked working with people, having a small crew working with and for me, and working with robots and line commands and a wall full of flatscreen monitors doesn't come close.

there. i've said it.

note to universe: the place is called A Better Computer and it's on Circle Avenue in Corvallis, Oregon, USA. there's one guy who works there/owns the joint. send him an idea that he could use a little help, and then i'll go in there and let my charm do the rest.
