I know! When it comes to business that I work for, I'm shrewd and know exactly how to work suppliers/customers. When it comes to me personally, I fail everytime hence why I don't run my own business - I wouldn't make anything! So to get around this, I tend to tell everyone that I don't have the tools anymore to do any maintenance or support. But for true friends, which I think I have one or maybe two, and for family - the door is always open.

RE: The fine line between helping and servicingposted in IT Discussion
I'm terrible with this as I can never say no. Every time, I say "Yeah, no problem"! I genuinely enjoy helping out others but I know I get used as very very rarely will any of them help me out with non-it related things. Example - I fixed a friends computer and I paid for the disk drive and new graphics card. He even watched me pay for the parts online and did say he would pay for them but he never did. Few months down the line, I asked him if he could help me with a plumbing issue I was having so a few days later he came and fixed the problem, with a bill for £120! Why am I such a mug lol
