I got a "job" from this man who wants me to format the computers in his internet cafe. Truthfully, that's not the kind of job my company takes and this man approached me on a personal basis. So, we meet and he tells me he wants me to format the systems, reinstall the OS and put Windows XP service pack 3, Microsoft Office 2007, Adobe PDF and Deep Freeze, and he offers me 500 naira per computer (approx $3.5 per PC).
Now, it's a good thing that pirated software is the order of the day in Nigeria thus allowing Engineers and software dudes to afford people cheap services. But i bought an original Windows XP Service Pack 3, and i paid for virtually every licensed software i have (definitely not all) and somebody expects me to sit in front of 8 pcs, 40 minutes per system to reformat them for a measly price? I aint takin that shit.
But come to think of it, there's a clause attached, 2 hours free internet access everyday and a virtual office space plus half a ream of paper, I'm so taking this job
I'm out.....
