Yeah, I'm back. Lonnnnng day - it's nine to five-thirty, and being as how I much prefer earlier mornings, that makes it even longer.

I was sorta helpful in places. But I'm not sure how I feel about the whole place in general. There are a lot of things that will take time to get used to, if I stick around. For one, although I can deal with the pressure of needing to get things done quickly, the idea that a customer will pay if I *don't* get done quickly is hard to take. I don't like that aspect. Granted, for small places, paying a high hourly fee is still far cheaper than keeping a tech on-site at all times, but even so...

And the boss is rather a micromanager who's always suspicious that people are trying to get away with stuff. That could be even harder to get used to.

On the other hand, so long as I clock in and out like a good girl, I can likely work around [vey local] interviews at other places. So there's that. And I'm doing more in-depth hardware repair than I've done before, which is good for me. They do builds and replace motherboards and such, where everywhere else I've worked has troubleshot to a certain level and then called the manufacturer.

And it's a paycheck, of course, which is the main thing right now.
