A Step In The Right Direction

I was in my day program the other day; and a lady (not sure if she’s a staff or client or what have you…thanks to HIPAA laws on both the programing and HR, I probably won’t know) was there and I haven’t seen her since I departed in the “art” group back in the spring time. The lady and I spoke and conversed. She noticed my Boston Bruins lanyard and asked if worked.

I also have this – a badge to notify people to keep a reasonable distance (typically for the “beautiful people” at the local Whole Foods and Market Basket who cut people off in the store asiles like they’re on the highway.)

I basically said, I do IT work on the side, and it’s my ID badge (and keycard, but was too lazy to state that.)  She followed up by asking, if she needed someone to fix her laptop to come to someone like me. And I replied with a yes.

I’ve never had the confidence to extend my various self-employed (I mean I’d make so little its barely even close to employment, it’s extra disposable cash.) I’ve tried to do internal projects and trying to work with family but the problem is it’s always a challenge because most often my mother would do it in favors (free lunch, breakfast, and other things that would be considered illegal like “bribing”.)

So basically my mother would not be the best investor.

But this is a step up. At least I am taking my venture more seriously and not make it some dummy company (which legally it is and probably always will be) but at least I am trying to seriously make a dent in a world where everyone is a techie and trying to follow my basic dreams for the last few years now (to no avail – at least so far.)
