I dropped out of College. I am in the army. My job is to fix computers. My favourite band is Tool. I want to go to a Tool concert.
I don't have a College Degree. My IQ is above average. I like to eat meat. I am married. I make desserts. I use my computer to look up recipes. My computer is malfunctioning and I don't want to buy a new one. I have a smoker. I listen to Tool. I like listening to Miles Davis and Alicia Keyes. I like Jazz and R'n'B music. I read. My husband's birthday is today.
How did your husband's birthday go? I was great! I was able to smoke a brisket and make a great dessert for him. Last time we talked you said you were making cakes and cookies and all sorts of desserts for him.  What was his favorite thing you made for him? I made a great batch of cupcakes for him. I took the center of the cupcake out and filled it with frosting then I topped the cupcake. They were amazing! Do you like to bake? That does sound amazing!  I don't dislike baking but I'm not good or experienced at it.  I'm better with computers than with kitchen utensils and appliances.  Do you have your own bakery or just do catering or private requests? I usually just do private request. I've done a few birthday parties for my friends but other than that it's just been me and some private requests. Well it sounds like you're a well-kept secret at this point.  Would you like to have your own bakery or to turn it into your own formal business? I thought about it but I don't have the business acumen to execute a well designed bakery. For now I just kind of do it as a side hobby. I'm also afraid that if I turn it into a real job it'll stop being a hobby and become a job. Yes, I can understand that.  If you love something, sometimes it's better just to keep it as a hobby and not taint it with the concerns that come along with work.  That's something I need to think about when I get out of the Army.  I was thinking of starting my own computer repair business but I don't have any entrepreneurial experience myself. I think the army would prepare you to do anything! Thank you for your service BTW. Oh, you're welcome, but it's not much.  I'd like to think the computers I repair and rebuild are being used to solve real national security issues, but as far as I know people are just using them to surf the web.  I'm a very little cog. I still think you would be able to do computer repair as your own business. I know a lot of people that do it in service small local governments. They would love to have a person like you service their computers.
