It was a pretty good weekend. Did some cleaning Friday night. Mostly cloudy outside everyday, but it didn't rain a lot, and wasn't as hot as it could have been. Mainly stayed in and cooked, watched the movie Australia, which actually wasn't that bad. We then went swimming at the pool in my apartment group. Free and relaxing. Then, back to back Torchwood episodes. Now back to the grind.

I have put myself back out as a private PC tech a couple of days ago to make some extra money seeing that I can't hope for it to just fall out of the damn sky ... people are just too freaky about their money, apparently. These are bad financial times for "almost" everyone. My problem is that expectations at work are that we in the IT department will work for "peanuts", and that just isn't right. $10 and  $20 per malware removal is idiotic. Best Buys "Geek Squad" makes $199 + for such work. $299 if they have to actually make a house call. I have a feeling though that unless I put my services outside my work place I am not going to be making any money at all.
