Double Whammy

Bad things don’t happen to those who pray. Or so you believe. I guess I must have drawn the short straw these past few days. I got home on Friday night to most of my applications failing on my primary computer. My ‘net applications seemed to be the ones affected most of all. My firewall software seemed also to be hit badly refusing to start up at all after a restart.

Anyway, after running AV software and hoping the problem was fixed, I had problems connecting to the web. I think that my computers been hit by some worm or something or another. That or somethings gone and played around with my IP settings on the sly.

My problem was further compounded by the fact that apparently I’ve failed to pay my service provider bill. So I spent the better part of yesterday trying to chase the network problems I was experiencing. Or that I thought I was experiencing when in fact I was disconnected. Great, just another big bill added on to the list bills I already have outstanding.

Still trying to track down the bugger that’s causing my main computer to fuck up but for now I have two other comps that are working at least. But it’s not something I need right now. It’s hard enough not feeling down when you are running out of money, jobless, forced to a place you want to stay, without your main tool of communication and functioning is disabled. I really need a cigarette because otherwise I’ll go kill someone.

I’ll resist.

And to top it all off, I hardly ever log into ICQ but this time I did. And joy of joys, Louisa is online. Getting a grip on my sanity is effortless when the sun is shining but I guess it’s a test of character and strength if I can stand by my principles when there doesn’t seem to be doing anything but raining crap all around.

Right enough whining. Time to get back involved in that bastard upstream of my life.
