After working for myself for the last seven or so years, I’m back to being an employee. There are some benefits to that like I get to go home at the end of my shift and the phone doesn’t ring with customers or problems after hours. I like that. Plus I get a paycheck every two weeks. Problem is I have to be at my desk at 3:30 PM and not a minute later and I can’t leave before midnight Sundays through Thursdays. And I have a boss who has a boss and so on and yuck. But I love the job – oh, I’m working technical support and sales at GoDaddy.com.
I have years of programming and computer experience and it’s making the job a lot of fun. It’s something I’m good at and I really do enjoy it. I do miss being my own boss and making more money but that will come. One thing that I’ve noticed talking to our customers on the phone is that so many don’t know what they’re doing on the intertubes or interweb (yes, some I’ve heard that from a customer) or internet. So, I’m making myself available under the name BravoDog IT to help people use the internet more effectively for their businesses. I’m charging very reasonable rates and using GoDaddy products exclusively.
If you or anyone you know needs interweb support, please don’t hesitate to call! I’m good at it, I’m knowledgable, plus I need the extra money.
Peace.
