Doing the Dew, Old School Style
So I had that scope done today. I don’t remember anything from when it was happening. All I have heard so far is that I am supposed to give up pizza. Yeah right, like that’s going to happen. I already had to give up mexican and other spicy foods. You can’t take my pizza way!
At least I’m going to use this time I have taken off work to do something productive. I’ve got the whole rest of the week off and I’m planning to get a whole lot done. I’m working on a website for a friend, getting all the design changed, information up there, and making it really easy for him to make changes to the website. It’s all simple except for the backend script that I’ll be putting together (which is also pretty simple)
I’m also going to be working heavily on that youth group video we’re making. I am working on learning Lightwave and putting together an ocean and a beach to use in our green screen footage. This one’s got a deadline so I’m trying to do the most work on it.
I’m working on the website for computer repair company I’m starting. This company will be a lot more than computer repair, and the website will play a really, really huge role in making profits and everything for the company. This doesn’t have a deadline but it’s higher on my list of things to get done. We’ve got an awesome name for the company and I’ve snagged the domain name. I still need to register the trade name and decide how I’m setting up the business.
I’m also planning on doing a little work on the Broken Fork website. I’ve just kind of got it up there right now to sit there. I’d like to work on a custom design and really plan out the wording. This is kind of a lower priority than everything else, but definitely needs to get done.
I’m still a little groggy and weird from the stuff they gave me. I’m also really hungry. I’m supposed to take it easy for the next couple of days. I still haven’t eaten anything significant since Tuesday.
So I’ve still been looking around for new jobs. I got out of computer repair a year ago. I have been considering getting a job at a computer repair shop since I really am good at it. Then I got to thinking why not just have my own business? Why should I be making money for other people when I possess the skills to have my own computer repair business?
So I thought a lot last night about exactly how I would do it. Of course it would be run out of the house at first, but I am thinking I can get enough business to get a small shop together in a few months. The last shop I worked at was disorganized and nothing ever really got done. I’ve got a ton of ideas as far as managing jobs, schedules, the business, etc.
Another big thing I was thinking about is the website. I want to offer all of the products and services online. I’ve got so many big ideas for that. The biggest thing I am looking for right now is a name. I don’t want to use it under Broken Fork Productions because that’s for videos, and it’s not quite a computer name. I am trying to think of a good name for a computer repair shop that I can also get an available domain name for.
I figure this would be something to at least bring some cash in for other ideas. And since I am so good at working with, repairing, and building computers that I should really do something with those skills.
Finding the right company to repair your computer can be a nightmare. Everybody has heard the horror stories that happen when you take your computer to big box companies. Usually their techs aren’t trained to fix your computer, just sell you stuff. That’s why I always recommend finding either a local company, or a company that specializes in computer repair. Not one that just has to make the money. Fast-Teks is one of those companies that I would recommend. They specialize in computer repair and have many locations nationwide. They also provide on-site services so you don’t have to worry about taking your computer to them.
