And It Gets Better...

Needless to say, life can't get anymore ironic than this. So Big Daddy's Big Friend comes over late Saturday night after he gets off from work; he's a bouncer at a local bar. I'm asleep, Brad's in and out asleep on the couch. Big Friend is not very sober -- let's just say he was acting like one of my 8th graders. So Big Friend decides to play on my laptop some Internet Hearts, Spades, his usual, but his less-than-sober mind strays to more provocative topics.

Now I have a rule in my house with my computer, especially with all the boys around, no less-than-desirable material whatsoever. They know this, they know I get angry, they know my computer is my life. Well what does Big Friend do in his drugged state -- he manages to download over 20 viruses on my computer, including a worm and a Trojan Horse. You can imagine me -- &$(*&$@)!!!! *%(#)#@)&)@@&#!!!!

After searching through the various Spybots, AdAwares, and Norton's that I have on my computer to help protect us from this exact situation, we come to find out that Big Friend was just pushing "OK" for just about everything that came to the screen. Now of course I have a Pop-Up blocker, but he was clicking through the ActiveX Controls and downloading everything but the kitchen sink. He managed to do this in a matter of 2 hours. Ok, don't we all know to never push "OK"!!!! If you didn't already know this, put it in your head, don't push "OK" or whatever that damn button says.

Luckily, Big Daddy has some good friends who happen to work as IT people and can help us out. My computer is now at Good Friend's house and he's working to clean up the mess that Big Friend made. What makes it wonderful, is that I was dealing with this same level of nonsense with my 8th graders...I would rather deal with 8th graders' lack of judgment anyday. It was like a full circle moment!!! HAHAHAHA!!!! Isn't my life wonderful???
