My New Boss is the Fucking Man!
So I started this new job today and one of the first things my boss asked me was, "Do you know anything about computers?" I told him that I was a super geek and could do anything he needed. He asked me to find out why his computer was going so slow. I checked it out with CCleaner and it took two hours to finish the scan that takes about 30 seconds on my machine.
The reason why it took so long was that there was 6GB of trash files (more than 92,000 files and a quarter of the HDD) and 576 registry issues! This dude hadn't deleted his temporary internet files or anything since he got the machine in 1999. I cleaned him all up and and got his machine running like new. He told me that if I could do the same for the 3 other PCs in the office he wouldn't have to buy new ones and he'd give me a 200 dollar bonus.
First day, 200 dollar bonus. This job rules!

Not bad. I'd have bargained for a new computer. He doesn't have to buy 3, so he can buy you 1. Even if you don't need it. That's what pawn shops are for.

Do you kinda feel like this now....:ybounce:? Or maybe like...:banana:
Sounds like a good guy to work for. Yay you!

Nah, this dude seems really nice. So if I conserve it now, I think I can really cash in later.

Re: My New Boss is the Fucking Man!
wso, are you going to make a donation to the guys who made cccleaner?:D
Re: My New Boss is the Fucking Man!
I'll probably convince the boss that we should buy the Pro version for the office actually.
Re: My New Boss is the Fucking Man!
yeah it is a good program
Re: My New Boss is the Fucking Man!
Amazing how you just throw on a basic program and you're a hero. I love when shit like that happens! Good going!
Re: My New Boss is the Fucking Man!
Yeah, the way him and the office manager were talking, you'd think I just raised the dead. Gotta love technophobes.
Re: My New Boss is the Fucking Man!
Sounds more like he's an idiot than the man, but still $200 is $200. That's awesome...
Re: My New Boss is the Fucking Man!
Nah, he's actually incredibly intelligent. He's a Mensa member and rakes in millions a year. He just doesn't know computers.
Re: My New Boss is the Fucking Man!
well considering he got three old computers fixed up like new for only 200 bucks, yeah he's no dummy
Re: My New Boss is the Fucking Man!
No lie. Plus, yesterday he got his wife to call me in to do all their home computers. He has two kids and each one has a PC on top of the "main" one. These are all billable hours and the rate's gonna be good...
Re: My New Boss is the Fucking Man!
