Aaaaargh! Computer woes part...you know what? Screw it, I stopped counting a while back. So the new computer has a virus masquerading as a security program and I have no idea how to get rid of it. [Headdesk]
Start your computer is safe mode, make sure your anti virus is up to date and run a full system scan. While it is doing this walk away and leave it alone. Less stress that way as it could be an hour for the scan depending on the computer and virus.

Good Morning FaWtLys! I am excited. I found a new job that allows me to stay in the Houston area and it is a great opportunity. It's been a stressful few weeks, but now that it has been announced at work, I feel like a great load has been lifted off of me.
In the "it's a small world" category, I will now be working only 10 minutes from AZ's brother who is also a player in my Rise of the Runelord's campaign. Wolfthulhu plays in that game as well.
Since I have a lot of projects to wrap up, I gave my current employer about 4 weeks notice so I don't start my new job until February 6th. Grrr!
Congratulations!
I'm glad to hear things worked out well!

Thanks. :)
I never did manage to turn on safe mode, but my crappy timing and multiple attempts at restarting my system were apparently just what my real anti-virus software needed to catch all the bits and pieces of this nasty program. Because sometimes dumb luck works too. :)Bitter Thorn |

I'm thinking 25, or even 30 sounds about right considering how many 21 year old college d-bags don't know how to act when they get a couple in them.I'm for lowering the drinking age. Maybe it's just me and my particular wing of my people, but it takes time for one's body to acclimate to what alcohol does to it. Then again, there are some people/peoples who will NEVER get used to it. It's such a weird issue.Age ruls in Germany:
16 - buy beer, wine and everything else under 10%
18 - drive a car, vote, buy cigarettes and hard liquoer
21 - treated as adult before a court of law
18 - for military service?

A break /vacation is best.You know what I love? Pathfinder. You know what I want to play? Pathfinder. You know what I have never played? Pathfinder. You know what I have played? The "How badly can we f~%* each other over while pretending to be friends when in fact we really hate each other and are completely incapable of working together." Role Playing Game. In the past couple days, I've had 4 different characters die as a result of party betrayal, spent significant game time screaming profanity at my fellow gamers, spent more significant game time having profanity shouted back at me, and hatched numerous revenge plots. It's not so much as fun fantasy escapism as it is a "f*!& you all" bullying fest, and it's pretty much the whole of my RPG experience. I know I should stop playing. I really do. However, I like the idea of the game too much to do that, so I always march onto the battlefield with head held high and hope of a fun game in my head, despite knowing full well things are going to be emotionally excruciating. So, yea. It's a really s*~+ty morning.
*sigh* Thanks for listening to my rant.
