I think I have a bad habit of getting clients who at the end of the day of fixing their computer, find out that their internet has gone down that night or the next morning.

After hours of defending finger-pointing, and tech support, tracing lines and resetting modems and routers and IP configs, and rolling back everything I just did, it always comes down to this:

The client has been past due on their bill for months, and I always (6th time in a fucking row) work on their computer/network that exact day the ISP cuts the client off.

And always the nagging

"Well, it WAS working BEFORE you FIXED it!"

Am I cursed?

Script fun!
