Sometimes things don't go to plan.

Recently I had a difficult customer. 

He maybe didn't know about my recent issues with vertigo, or that I'm right now, a full time dad. But I diagnosed his issue (cleaning would not work. The analog had been damaged and had a plastic part stuck under the stick) and offered a solution, despite his prickly attitude or jabs at my ability. 

In the end. He wanted the Fortnite controller to be perfect. So we could swap another controllers innards with this so it would work. 

The first controller wouldn't quite work. Much older board. In my rush to help him, I didn't reseat some ribbons successfully. 

He attempted to provoke me. Instead, I dealt with the issue with a level head. My test PS5 decided to not respond to controllers during this (if this happens. Power out. Leave out for 30 seconds from console btw). 

He underpaid for all the work I put in. No point in losing my cool, or wasting any further energy on him however. 

I don't list everything I do on here. Just things that come with a neat story. Or are slightly out of the ordinary.
