thanks for the well wishes everyone. i am amidst a cross between being really excited and having a wait see attitude. this interview process leaped into high gear considering that i had the initial phone interview last thursday to flying on an airplane this friday. i have hardly had time to catch my breath.

my today started out like this: 1) so my cell phone decided to stop ringing (and i couldn't here my messages) this weekend and it's the telephone number on my resume so i knew i needed a new phone today. 2) plus i got a computer virus last night after trying to look at the 'get ziggy with it' quilt pattern on an etsy site. the virus totally locked down my computer so that nothing worked. 3) and add to that m sil started her chemo this morning.

so i got up at 6am today to talk to my computer geek brother about what he could do to help with the virus..... his answer 'not much'. then i ran over to radio shack to get my upgrade phone and radio shack was sold out of all the evo phones, not a one. now i have to make a decision on what to get(i know i want an android instead of an iphone...go figure) so no phone today. i am calling friends for advice. now remember my phone doesnt ring so i happened to look down and it was lite up. it was the az company asking could i possibly make it there friday to interview with the vp, mgr and the rest of the tax team. so i couldn't decide on the phone just yet so off to office depot geek squad to see about my computer.

the geek squad said yep you got a virus and it's gonna cost you moolah for us to find and erdicate it. possibly hundreds of moolah. that wasn't gonna work. so i called the crazy computer geek who fixed my last virus and for a total system wipe and reload of my system and ms office $60.00 so in the midst of all this bad and good news, another call from the company to please check my email for the flight choices and get right back to them. so i had to make a mad dash to a library to get on a computer to choose a flight. that done i went home to see if i could save anything before the total system wipe. not happening.

then on to the crazy computer geek to get my system wiped and reset. i have lost absolutely everything. all my files, all my swap records & photos, all my rak info, all my documents, all my pictures, everything. i have a total blank system now with nothing but software on it. okay so now i need to look into some online data storage. all of this because i wanted to look at a quilt pattern last night. so i watched my cumputer lose its identity as my machine.

then back to communicating with my db to make sure my sil was still hanging well from her chemo. he said they are staying in a hotel so she can relax.

so i just saw my flight arrangements to phoenix. it is a 3 hr direct flight from here. i have a direct flight there and a 5 hr flight back. i will spend a whole 8+ hrs on a plane this friday for 3 hrs of interviewing. something to look forward to.

now i am back home after a fun filled day trying to figure out just waht i lost that i really need and may never get back. oh well what can you do? computers and viruses.
