Evening Hair - 'It will be carried by another, to a place we did not dare go to, and for that we are grateful.'
Boy howdy are we grateful :~D
Now ... remember, these are computer geeks, so they were probably just as nervous as you!
Second ... What kind of question is "how do you remove a virus?" Do you know what virus it is? Is the user running a virus protection program at all? Which one? When did they last update it? What are the symptoms? Have they transmitted it to floppies yet? Is it a virus, or spyware?
I'l do for you what DaBear does for me ... you did your best, and now it's done.
Was he cute?
Heh...yeah. That's why I basically just said, if your antivirus software is up to date, it may find it and clean it...if not, and you know what it is, there are generally removal tips on antivirus sites or geek boards (only I didn't say geek...maybe shoulda. ;-), and I finished off by saying, "In other words, it depends." What else could I say?
Yeah, I think we were all pretty nervous. It just bugs me that there really wasn't much of a chance to talk. I mean...I asked the questions that occurred to me right off and confessed to being happier being an on-the-spot support person rather than a behind the scenes network guru, but that's about it. It wasn't very...chatty. And maybe that's OK, but I gotta wonder. Heh...you know how interviews are! It's so hard to know what really went well.
Was who cute?
Keep prayin'!
I'm so demanding, aren't I? ;-)
Heh...think he'll make a politician?
Good evening!
~sip~
I suspect it was my dad's idea. The guy said he didn't get his name, but it was a man that called.
You know my dad didn't want to leave. He liked it here, had good friends, was happy. He told the barber so and the barber told me. Even the barber shook his head.
I talk to him pretty frequently via email.
OK, here's a bit of good news, for a change. I got a call from a gal from church who had gotten a call from someone who was on the bus trip to Denver back in July, and who remembered that I'd said I did something with computers. Heh...he didn't remember more than that, but that's OK.
He volunteers with Catholic Charities here, and I guess right now they need a volunteer to just do data entry part time and temporarily, so he thought of me, since I'd mentioned I wasn't currently working. It's nothing complex, but apparently most of the volunteers are older folks and don't really know how to use a computer. It's not a paid deal, of course, but it'd at least give me a sense of purpose! And I'd be happy to help out.
The lady I'd need to talk to isn't in on Tuesdays, so I have to wait until Wednesday to call and see if they still need someone. I hope they do!
~sigh~ :~\
Was the first tech cute?
We're thinking attorney.
It's funny. Jr. is the one we thought would be the politician.
We'd take him to restaurants when he was about a year old. He would literally work the room. He would stare at one person 'til they acknowledged him, then he'd move on to the next.
The boss, or the one I'd be working with most if I get the job?
Do I hafta answer? *blush*
Volunteering gets you out of the house, and out of yourself! It's good to live for something beyond yourself, even if it's a part-time volunteer gig. And you can put that on your résumé. I dunno about anyone else, but it would favorably impress me!
Sounda like Luke would be good at filibustering, though...
Another good thing about the job ...!
<laughing!>
Wish I didn't have to wait a whole day to call! And I do hope they still need me - if not for that, then for something.
I've thought about volunteering, but wasn't sure where to start. This gives me an in.
I swear, though, that wasn't the *only* reason I took a liking to him!
