Well it looks like I have a job... a *perfect* job! And I didn't even ty to get it, it just kind of... happened?

Last year, my brother got a terrible something on his laptop. I was never able to determine if it was a virus or malware or a failing hard drive, but none of his files were accessible. Windows booted just fine, no errors. Could browse to any file, the entire drive was mapable - but nothing would *open*. Documents and programs just went "Hourglass, hourglass, nuthin'". Tried to move stuff over to a thumb drive, and it wouldn't go.

So I ripped the hard drive out, replaced it with a new hard drive and OS, and then mounted the old hard drive in a USB enclosure to we could access the files that way. It worked, so... *weird*, right?

Anywho, my brother has this friend who runs an IT Support Company, and he was explaining the problem to this friend, and the friend said "Well what I probably would have done was..." and he described *exactly* what I did, to which my brother said "YEAH! That's what my brother did for me!"

SO about a month ago, the friend (Clayton) contacts me because his company is growing and he needs a second person for his company, somebody who can handle stuff when he needs to be in two places at one time. Real basic phone support with remote access to all the computers, lots of "My printer doesn't work" and "Why can't I see my Email" type stuff - the stuff I already do for my family anyways :)

Today we met at Panera to finalize stuff, and... yeah! I'll be part-time tech-supporting from home!
