Feels like my head got stuck in a blender today. The weather in New England seems to have said "So you liked when it was warm yesterday, did you? You could walk around without a hat or gloves? WELL GUESS WHAT NOW IT'S GONNA BE BALLS CHILLINGLY COLD AGAIN! ENJOY! :D"

At work I was on Boston.com when I moused over an ad that opens itself and suddenly *boom* my antivirus tells me I have a Trojan. So I drop what I'm doing and call the tech guys, and we spent the next 45 minutes getting rid of it. Since we're an agency that deals with stuff like social security numbers and massive amounts of money anything like that is a DEFCON 1 situation, so the procedure is to cut the infected computer off from the network completely and go from there.

We got held up at one point because they wound up connecting to the account of the wrong Rosemary since there are two of us (the other is a much older woman) but eventually it was solved. Luckily no one at work blames me because I was on an ostensibly safe site and wasn't doing anything I shouldn't have been doing, in fact a big part of my job is to look for news on sites like that. The tech guys said that this keeps happening and they've sent emails to Boston.com about their ads being screwed up like that. They also told me that they'll put more memory in my computer because it's so slow even without viruses and upgrade me to a newer version of Internet Explorer because I'm still using version 6, and a lot of websites don't function properly, so it's not all bad. Every time I use my work computer I do end up appreciating my fast little laptop with Firefox all the more. *snuggles it*

Oh, and the vending machine at work ate my money when I was trying to get oatmeal because I still had a stomach ache. I wasn't happy. I swung by CVS later to get some stuff and tried to get some discounted Valentine's candy, but the only stuff they had left had aspartame in it, which I CAN'T EAT. Grr.
