What A Day

Yesterday afternoon my computer at work went down. It had/has a computer virus, I went to restart it before scanning it, alas all I got was the blue screen of death. The computer guy came over and helped get me up and started so I could scan it. We were hoping that once started the virus scanners would pick them up and clean them off. Unfortunately all the scanner did (before freezing up completely) was put shortcuts to nasty web pages on my desktop. By the time i gave up on scanning the desktop guy said he would come over the next morning and rebuild it.

After waiting an hour and not getting a-hold of him at his desk I called The other computer guy that i have known for almost my entire time at palisades. The original guy did not come in until 10am but Arif was happy to come over and rebuild the computer for me. I thought it would take a few hours it ended up taking all day! He called me towards the end of the day to let me know that he would have it done and installed Monday by the time I came in.

Lucky for me I sit next to the investigation team, who just had a desk top put on one of their desks. She comes in once every 2 weeks so I thought I was safe using her desk. I got allot done but was surprised when she came in. She told me to keep working (she doesn't use the desktop) she nicely plugged into a different desk. I did offer to move but she was already settled and didn't seem to bothered. The funniest part is I had to go between both desks as I could not give her phone # out as I would never get the message. That was annoying, yet fun!

All this made it the longest day EVER!
