I wish I never told anyone I worked or studied tech. Especially older family and friends, because their requests for help are relentless.
A lot of friends are chill with it, and I don’t mind doing a little bit of help, but sometimes people are who are OFFENDED when you don’t want to help. In the same way a contractor friend won’t remodel your home for free, I am not going to fix every single issue you have with your computer for free. I’m happy to give advice, but i’m not going to work for hours without pay to fix everything.
Same goes for handyman or carpenter.
I’m also a “handyman” and that also hurts so much. Generally whenever something is broken I do a little research and try to fix it. This works like 70% of the time, so ive learned how to do a lot of stuff. Fixing sinks, toilets, broken furniture, fixing vacuum cleaners and various appliances, etc.
What’s that phrase? “Being good at your jobs gets you rewarded with more work”?
