I'll confess, at times I condense a story to cut to the chase. Some cases a 15 minute back and forth covering the same topic over and over again doesn't make interesting reading. But yes, a guy did saw a graphics card in half to make it fit his slot. I did upset a woman for telling her that blaming me if she caught virus's after not updating her antivirus for over a year was like blaming her doctor for her getting the clap after not using condoms. I did have a guy who thought a PCI card didn't need plugging in "because it was wireless" and I get my fair share of dirty, smelly people who stink the shop out for a good hour. And porn... lots and lots of porn.

On a side note, the police rang me last week to tell me the guy we caught wth kiddy porn was sentenced.

300 hours supervised community service, 2 year supervisional order, placed on the sex offenders register and ordered to 6 months of councilling. He was also banned from working with children for life.

I have no idea how bad some of the stuff was on his PC, only the few bits and pieces I found (hence why the police ended up involved) but I still feel he's gotten off way too lightly.

Edit: As for salaries in the UK. Truth be told I'd probably make as much stocking shelves in Tesco. If I try to make sense of why I still work where I do I can't. I get frustrated by the customers and other staff, I don't get paid well and there's no real work benefits. I guess it comes down to the reasonable level of freedom and self management it affords me and my health problems making a more strict environment likely unworkable.

Still, I'm lucky enough to be independantly financially secure, so I don't have to worry about it too much.
