In case you were wondering, after splitting the money with my partner, I made a whopping $2.85 per hour to fix this cunts computer. As you can see, I had actually saved her money. What can I say, running these tests takes time. It wasn't my faunt that 7+ programs could not whipe the damn thing off the computer. You know, I am such a bitter, vindictive fuck, I am tempted to send her that bill. It's not like she will ever come back to us again anyway.
