maybe I wasn't so expensive

Huh, first blog entry. But why not.
First of all, the clasic "english is not my native language" and all of that. I hope not to write in engrish, but I wouldn't hope to not read engrish if I were you.

So a days ago, my sister asked me by messages how much I would charge for a cooling system change, speaking of a liquid refrigeration. I said my price. "And for an air cooler?". At this point she already bought a liquid refrigeration, ("all in one" type, a mainstream one. In fact, a very mainstream one I wold say) without taking 5 minutes to search for and read past messages in wich I explained her the "buy a cooling system" minimun knowledge. "Ok I'll tell you" she said. Hours later, she asked me for how much for replacing the pc case. At this point she also had the pc case bought. I'm polite, and rarely don't answer their questions about what should they buy or not, but not my money, not my problem. I would not have bought that case.

To this point, I entered the "idk how much, so pay what you want" and so she entered the "I have food" mode. Thanks but no thanks. Wathever.

"How much time do you estimate?" - at this point I dont know what pc case now what lr she wants
"without knowing the pc case model nor the liquid model... between no idea and a lot. aprox."
then she send me a photo of the case. What a clarification.
miraculously I recognize the model
"oh it have rgb. funny nights await you"

Two days later, my father (she lives with him) would call to mantain a 1:40 hour discussion about my whole life, motivated by how I try to charge money to the side of the family that I hate. That ended in "I charge you extra coz being with you is unpleasant" and "I will make it, and for free". That was another 5-6 days ago.

And finally, this afternoon he sent me a messages like "I'm going to do what you wanted to do for money, but for free. You can come to watch if you want...". Hell will frozen before the day that I will want to enter in that house. This was a bit after 8: PM. (Is in this point that I know the brand of the liquid and the radiator size). I didn't even answer to this. The hours passed and then a call. So the expert managed to disassemble all but is having problems with the assembly... Oh, what a shame for a experienced man like him. Especially because he did a lot of emphasis on "I have more age and experience than you on everything". Everithing except the cables, it seems. Hints and a little guiding. "the power button is like any other switch, does not have polarity", ""without polarity" that means that you can connect it without worring about what side is the positive and what the negative", and things like that. Such a pro.

Minutes later, I would message him with some other advices about how to put the fans, I've no idea of why I still being polite with him. Then, the second "You can come here" happened. This one a little more desperate. "¿for free? no". And with that, came the second "I have food". I seriously can't imagine why the fuck everyone tries to buy me with food at this point. "In any case, I will go to bed on half an hour". This was at 23:40.

So a while ago, at 2AM, my sister asked me why windows crashes on BSoD. More specifically, "it boots, but only show the sad face". After some questions and "you can try to do this"es, cause I was not present and have no idea of what they may have done, I asked if the hdd got any hit. "yes, a hit yes [...] really it can break with that?"

I whink I know more people that think the HDD's are paperweights than people that tries to not throw them on the floor. If they had been designed for dropping, would be made of rubber.

I asked her to make a chkdsk on the recovery mode, but all points now to me being on that house tomorrow to guess what in earth means "fail to transfer logged messages to the event log with status 50"

Maybe, and only maybe, when I said that paying is a good idea cause if something fails you can blame other than yourself, I wasn't wrong.



TL;DR: first blog entry, engrish, family, people trying to buy me with food, homemade computer case replacement goes wrong and I laught about it, and I guess tomorrow will se how much fucked up is


If someone can point me where my english is broken, I'd like to learn :)

I don't think it's fair to charge close family money to help them. Anyone else sure, and if they want to pay you that's fine too, but you shouldn't be asking them for payment. Doesn't matter if you like them or not. Family is family, and helping eachother is what you do.
 
@The Real Jdbye The last time I checked, he had three cars. And half a year ago I couldn't eat all days because of money. Not to mention a lot of past shit. The sister... Well, my first 14 years or so on this planet I lived with her in the same house, but as today I don't know her name. But that's another story I guess.

I have a family of fuckers, and those two are one of the worst and the worst of them. I'll not cry here about it, but just can't see a "you must love your family" comment without replying "No"

@FAST6191 Very accurate :rofl: thanks for the term
and believe or not, i once pirated a 2ds to only being paid with pasta (spaguetti more specifically) for it. Was definetily worth. Pasta is the bes food (aside with onion)
 
@CallmeBerto yep, first part done. years ago. The second part, however, is complicated (like, there have been house movings to a house in the adjacent street or things like that). I'd like, but for now I can't fully do it
