Last night I got a bit of a surprise. As I finished chatting with a new friend and was shutting down for the night, I noticed my CD-r tray was broken. It's been failing for a while so I already had a replacement waiting to be installed. Open the case, remove four screws, change the connections and replace the drive and restart. Simple eh?...
Nope..
When I restarted, Windows XP crashed. The config file for new hardware had been corrupted. Someone using my daughter's account downloaded the sasser worm to the computer. Why do I know this? Because certain youngsters using that account seem to shut off the anti-virus protection to play certain on-line games or download pictures. My registry and install files crashed. I was up till 11:45pm working on checking the system last night, then on the phone to Microsoft support at 6am today. I left Trish talking to the technician when I left for work at 7:25 in order to effect a reload and system save.
On top of that, I probably left my sunglasses BJ's in Burbank yesterday evening following shitty service there. This following stepping on a sharp metal bar while exploring the old LA zoo site for a possible shoot (it went through the shoe and into the foot). Yes, can you tell JJ's not having a good time right now. JJ's not even close to happy at all in fact.
Yes, the next time someone in my immediate family tells me to hook up the wireless LAN so my kids can get on-line (fuck up) with their computer, I'm going to rip them a new arse hole.
