After I helped him for those 10 hours without a thank you, and it bothered me, I asked him (online via IM) if he could come over to my apartment to help me clean. I said that I need my laundry done (about 10 loads) which should take some time but he could multi-task by mopping my kitchen floor and cleaning my tub.
Heck, with the kind of yoga moves I had to make to put wires in through this little hole in his computer desk, he can bend a little and use some elbow grease.
(I use open but good quality (very sturdy) folding tables -- one 6' and two 4' with plastic shelving units, so installing and uninstalling things is very easy unlike his setup in which everything has to go through this little circle hole in the back of the "alcove" where the desktip goes).
He wasn't even willing to stop by and watch a video while I clean, to have someone to keep me company (I have major depression which makes it very hard for me to do anything, even the basics but this time of year I usually come out of it).
Right now I said, but am not sticking to my guns as much as I should, that I would charge him $30 hour, but he needs to purchase the support in increments of 10 hours. So, if he paid me $300 I would be happy to help him, and I wouldn't watch the clock that closely.
I do freelance IT work for this one company, and one of their Dell Optiplex desktops had developed some strange issues more than six months ago which was...
The hard part is that I see him once in a while and he asks a question -- at first I said I can answer as a consultant if you hire me on, but recently I have answered some of them.
He's an OK guy, he just has a lot of blind spots, mostly related to enbreastlement and lack of manners by saying the magic words "thank you" and buying pizza for someone who spent a lot of time at his apartment.
I helped one of his friends for $200 -- his laptop had crashed and he didn't know how to get it working again so I did a clean install for him.
