Since the company I work for doesn't like to pay for overtime, I am off on a Friday, with not much to do. I wanted to use this weekend to relax, as I will be busy after Saturday. I am currently working on my business plan for my own business, which should be ready by the end of November. If there's one thing I've learned, is to take your time with big decisions that could change your life. My own business would definitely change my life, for the better. I don't like the idea of someone else getting rich off of my work. I also have to do a lot of research for my area, and find something that everyone needs. This shouldn't be too hard, as the area I'm in has many technical disadvantages. That may soon change, and I could be the frontrunner in it all. We'll see how that goes....

I had a great day at work today. I actually got to do some tech work. Since there was a few out of the office, and I finally got approval to drive the company cars, they wanted me to go to an onsite a couple of hours away. The initial phone call came in with a description of computer turns on, then off. I'm thinking PS, or processor right off. So, I took a processor, motherboard, power supply, extra hard drive, extra SIG card. I arrived onsite, and thought it would be easy. Yeah, right. I tried a new power supply first, nope- same result. I tried the processor next, nope- same result. I then took everything out except what was needed to boot and display, nope- same result. Bad motherboard! Installed the new MoBo, all the devices, and powered up. Everything runs smooth again! I spent 2 hours onsite, the first hour going through each step, the next installing the mobo, all the devices, and testing everything in the OS to make sure it didn't corrupt anything within the server. All in all, it was a good day. Customer is happy, and that's the bottom line!
