Why is it too much to ask?

[suityou01]

I work hard. My customers demand it. I have to be thorough, clinical and exact in what I do. What I deliver must work, and meet the requirements. And it does.

So why oh f*****g why is it that when I try and run my business

The JungleDisk drive fails all the f****** time
The wireless router fails all the f****** time
The installation guide for JungleDisk is riddled with mistakes.

All the time I am met with mediocre half assed attempts from scumbag companies that churn out sh!te.

I am trying to run a f*****g business here, I pay money for service and equipment and goddam expect it to work at least 80% of the time. At the moment I am just a technical support rep for my own company, when I should be selling product.

the most painful part of being a contractor is working on your home IT 'stuff' having to solve problems, and not getting paid for it

I know the feeling

You are obviously not having a good day/week. Could you remain calm and just try to get these arses to fix or replace stuff? Trading Standards?

[suityou01]

to both

I shall relax and go at it another day. I find jobserve to be full of bollox and the pimps to be extra specially full of sh!te at the moment, so I want to be on the ball and be marketing to companies direct. I feel the pressure of needing to get this all kicked off, and get more and more fed up the more "trivial" equipment failures I have.

I seem to be

accounts clerk
sales
tech support
consultant
dogs body

I need to offload. Praps accountant man could actually earn his money rather than just put in 3 hours work every year end. Why am I doing my own expenses FFS?

The pimps are useless and I have an obligation to market my company so I have no problem with this one

If the kit I bought was anywhere near merchantable I would not even be having this chat. I am going to kick off big time on Monday with various vendors.

Fck the pimps. Oxygen thieves the lot of 'em.

Have a day off and get trashed (or whatever) amd you'll feel better.

Love,

Your Mum
