Funny how this virus has changed my habits. There's absolutely nothing I want to do online enough to risk dealing with that again.

Not that I have finished. I broke down and agreed to pay McAfee's virus removal fee, even though I pay them an annual fee for the privilege of getting a virus they don't recognize. Why? Because I shopped around and nobody was doing it cheaper or faster, and they guaranteed that if they couldn't remove the virus I'd get my money back. So what the hell.

After an hour the first technician threw up his hands and said he'd have a supervisor call me tomorrow. Fan-fucking-tastic. There's another day I can't earn any money.

In other news, my car still has no engine. After painfully hammering out the details of accountability with my mechanic, the actual PART has yet to be delivered after two weeks. He just called today to let me know he's getting ready to sue the salvage yard. Which is all very well and good except I'm walking everywhere and there are quite a few places I can't get to because they're out of range.

Also I got an evaluation from school of all the things that are wrong with my daughter. I'm sick of people telling me stuff is wrong with my kids. I'm sick of feeling like I fail as a parent because stuff is wrong with my kids.

There are a few things I'm sick of. And more than a few things I'm feeling bitter about. I know I need to get past it and adjust my attitude but for the love of all that's holy COULD I HAVE A LITTLE LESS SHIT ON MY PLATTER, KTHX???

NOW McAfee is finding and blocking trojans. I'm reminded of the expression "locking the barn door after the horse has been stolen" but it's really more like putting up screens to keep the mosquitoes in.

Assuming this pesky virus isn't actually mining the deep recesses of my laptop's memory for passwords and financial information, that is.

I am anxiously awaiting the senior technician's call tomorrow.
