nice story, excllent writing

I totally agree @exyle it has a completely different feel when you're choosing to go somewhere not because you have to.

How exciting to think these days will soon be behind you though and good to get the reinforcement that this is definitely not what you want to do anymore. 😊

Nice post.  The scope monster happens to me all the time.  Friends, families and even aquintance.  And one will end up saying  yes so as for the  party be happy

But looking  at the bright  side...  You made someone  smile. That's good enough

Because I opted to be professional I hid my bike in another street and walked to the door.

Very Genius!...Much professional!...

perfect lines writing skills hat's off

O man, that scope monster is always there! Even when you least expect him! Great job on helping them though.

Nice one @exyle. Sometimes these older customers who knew us before the big bucks rolled in, you jusr have to be nice to them. I like the facr that you have promised to at least, be there for them not because of the pay. That's from a good heart !

That's cool. It feels good to help someone out when you can. Like you said, because you want to and not have to. It does make a big difference! Thanks for the post!

The "scope monster" sounds like you are being targeted by a sniper :). What does it refer to?

Wow sir you are doing great job and humanatism motivations for the people God bless you brOther

Its nice when you see old people and help them with technology because its hard for them. Its like rocket science to them. Your work is really nice

You did well with them, i imagine the situation while you heared the voice mail, pleasing to read that good work, take a look on my last post im sure u ll enjoy

nice story.. good writing..thanks for your sharing..

This is so recognizable. I once went on an intake at an prospect client. They wanted a website with a webapplication for a daycare centre for kids. The application 'only' had to hold all the information (a easy database). Both the ladies didn't had a clue of what they wanted, and for me at that point it was also not clear... Finally when I was completely finished it was a complete billing system with automatic mail and bill sending. For that moment an state of the art application, but a big scope-creeper.. And the sucker I am, I didn't want to put the ladies in huge costs, so it costed me a lot of time and for that time thus money.... So I've been there and know exactly what you mean... :)

Thank you for this beautiful story!
What was your old job? Helping people with computer and tech problems? I thought, that you were working in the medical field? Well, I guess, these computer problems can soon become a medical problem too 😂

that's life, [hahaha](https://steemit.com/science/@pojan/motivation-remove-the-formula-to-deal-with-the-problem-in-life-pull-toward-p-f-a-7d8400d16b623), but you are too kind to it

You are really awesome with your clients , i like the fact you served them full heartedly with a pure heart , it's rare to find who can serve you in such a manner .keep it and never disapoint your old clients.

Wow, it's really a wonderful story I enjoyed reading

Windows is a killer when you are trying to fix something. Good for you that you will continue to help them out. For some of the older people the world of computers and smartphones is a total mystery!

that was so lovely of you to help them, you made them happy because of your effort and show respect to your client at least you made them happy , hence they are not that so techy enough hehe

I appreciate your determination @exyle ;)

I really like your post :)

It's not just about professionalism also about humanity.You could not deny them because you are attached to them with some old memories.It shows that you are a good man.Every one wants freedom from all boundaries .What you have achieved already.Thanks for the post ,i always try to folloe your post.@resteemed

lol, Ive never heard that term before but completely recognise it...back in 1998 when i set up my IT support service , I walked the streets every day in my local town pushing leaflets with a list of my services and my mobile number through letterboxes. The jobs I used to hate back then were setting people up on the net, dial-up 33.6k modems were the order of the  day and the time I spent on the phone with aol or virgin support..nightmare. Then just when i was about to leave....'you couldn't have a look at my printer could you' ? driver issues on the 'new' usb printers. Nightmare. I used to walk to most jobs back then and when I had enough cash, spent £500 on an old van....happy days  :-) funny how sometimes a post brings back such similar and vivid memories!!

great post good job.

The feeling of helping someone is amazing, but getting ill feeling doing that can be very frustrating. Nonetheless, looking at the bright side will keep one focused. Keep up the good work Sir @exyle

Wow !!!
Some of experience are bad and some are good..
It was your bad experience...@exyle

That sounds like the most professional thing to do is to hide your bike. :)

lol. I got in to these kind of situations so Manny times. Since I’m a contractor and with so Manny clients it happens with everyone of them. But the only difference is that it’s still my job. 
However, once you have your client, they for whatever reason become attached to you.

I thought you were in finance sector.Because you are very sucesful on this field.  Giving your time to your ex-clients another very nice side of you mr @exyle. Helping someone always return in good ways. Karma!

'Very genius, Much Professional!' I don't know why phrases like that always get me to laugh. I guess it isn't that great with sweat dripping from your face but st least they didn't care.

It is amazing how they have been a client of yours since 2008 and after all these years they have still stayed connected. I hate trawling through windows errors. 

You are probably better at dealing with them compared to me but they still consume so much time and suck every bit of energy from you.

Once you resolve the error you don't get ecstatic and happy. You are just relieved that the torment is over.

Also is it just me or has there been some issues with Steemit. I recently did a post, I had some transaction error so I clicked 'post' again and another thread was produced. Others seem to be commenting on the problems as well. I hope they get resolved.

Have a great day @exyle! :)

it is really your kindness symbol.becsuse you helped me your oldest client solution doing her problem.if they are your old client. your client computer most problem doing error.you repair this computer only 2o minites.its your good quality.I hope that your client this time very happy.because you solution this problemly perfectly.I know you are a real and good person in the steemit platform.your every post thought very good.I am always learning a lot of new of your post.thank u very much for your nice post sharing.a perfect man may a perfect choice alltime.everything is mindblowing sir.good job.... @exyle

I believe "Karma" if you do something by your free will and for good causes it will come back to you when you need most. I'm glad world has people like you.

Many times the labor links go beyond the business, which starts as an alternative work can end up being something very similar to friendship.
Very good gesture of your part dear friend @exyle congratulations.
I wish you a great day
