7. You have far more stability in your work: There is great potential for those that work on their own. They can predict the workload and then adjust accordingly. This affords them a certain stability that doesn’t otherwise come their way.

There are more and more computer technicians that are venturing out on their own. This is a new wave of the future and it can really pay off in the long run.

Mary M. Fred writes often about potential career paths as well as what people can expect from a computer technician salary.

• Dr. Limoni and Constellation came over to see me, and the little bratty starship apologized with me. Too incredible to be true. I’m still pondering over its factual happening… it feels like a dream.
• Jim totally struck me with surprise when I went over for our 2nd monthsary (June 18th) and he showed up with a bouquet of roses and he told me – with the most sexy smile in the universe – that I’m a “beautiful lady with charming blue eyes” ^3^ Oh Jim! He’s really going to make me melt in a pot of sweetness one of these days :3
• attending to university public lectures as an external not-enrolled student so assiduously made me realize that I really want to enroll to that course in Modern Languages and Cultures;
• the Serany sisters clearly told me that I’m being considered one of the family under every aspect, and it struck me with so much thankfullness and love that it moved me to tears

And so… how have you been, my dear online friends? I hope I can drop by your websites this week, and get in touch more often. I missed you all. <3
