Took my business computer to the repair shop for a regular maintenance to keep it reliable (can't run the business without it) and gave them one specific task to accomplish: acquiring a specific peripheral.
Picked it up this morning. What I had asked for was not done. However, they "cleaned up my hard disk" ... in the process deleting a vital WordPerfect folder and Netscape (which I use to read newsgroups)!!!!!
Just to make things more fun, they did something to my "mouse buttons" (whatever you call them when you have a touch-screen instead of a mouse) such that it takes full pressure of both hands to push them down. Inside an hour, my tendinitis was killing me, but I was still trying to set things to rights so I had no choice but to keep going.
Needless to say, the owner is getting an earful in the morning. I didn't tell them to delete anything, or to mess with my settings, or to install newer versions of old software (a version which, to my mind, is not as easy to use at the older version, which is why I hadn't installed it on this computer after trying it on the other one).
I have half a mind to send him a bill for my time undoing their "improvements", which have taken enough hours that I think they'll end up owing me more than I paid them.
