That's life... Once you start helping people out, you are seen as the reliable person or friend. Some people call me their bestfriend, some call me their IT helpdesk, some even call me the incrediBINX *lol*.
However, there are times when you can't really meet everyone's expectations. Come on, I am only human what... Is there an invisible sign somewhere on my forehead that reads : Hey I'm Binx.. and I'm a walking directory.. Don't get me wrong though.. I am please to help you out. But I too have my limits. Hence, don't push it laa ok..
I have to agree with today's Quote of the Day - 'no good deed goes unpunished'
incrediBINX: maybe i should start charging my service.. hmmm...
