Stickers

9am Wednesday 4 May 2000

This morning I asked Wende to remove a sticker from my toe. It must have been a monster sticker, or a very stubborn one; it took her at least 5 minutes.

"Aren't you done yet?"

"I've gotten 6 so far."

At the end, Wende pulled 16 stickers out of my feet. 6 were in that one toe. Wow!

We got the world famous virus today. One of my bosses received it and opened the attachment, ILOVEYOU.

I happened to be standing right by her and when she goes, "uh oh, I think that was a virus; how can we stop it?" I turned off the machine.

(Back in the day, Steve Avery said, "I never get mad at my computer, because I know I can always turn it off.")

Did research and found that this virus has been traversing the globe throughout the day.

Norton Anti-Virus was able to detect the virus, but not able to remove it. I found www.getvirushelp.com which had information which removed the virus.

But here is the weird thing: The attachment she opened was ILOVEYOU. The virus we detected and removed was PrettyPark. Very interesting. I'm not sure if they are the same virus or if someone renamed PrettyPark, or what. Hmmm.

Yesterday at work, as I finally was getting down to 'normal' work (no longer messing with computer virus stuff), Wende called asking if I'd enjoy visiting Souper Salad with Molly And Will.

Totally!

Rain was tremendous as I drove home. Sarah on KTRU was all, "call me with your rain reports."

I called her from home. "HI Sarah! It's Rob. I'm calling with my rain report. It's raining."

"Thanks, Rob!" with playful sarcasm.

"It's raining so hard that I can't even see downtown Houston, and we're only 2 miles away. Be careful and stuff when you leave the station."

She said she would, though was planning to visit a friends house that she hadn't been to in a while.

"See you later" and then downstairs where Molly and Will were already here. (They had actually arrived just after I pulled in)

Souper Salad is great fun salad buffet place to eat. But now, they had an even added super bonus!! The Soup was now part of the same buffet price! And the price didn't even go up. Amazing!

I bet they move about the same amount of soup and salad through, but have happier customers with greater variety! I loved it.

During dinner Will described two bugs he had found in some code (rare bugs that were tricky to find) and how he fixed them. Then the girls dominated conversation, mostly with college roommate stories.

My final plate at dinner was peas, "Tuna Scroodle" (Tuna and wide wiggly noodles), chocolate pudding, strawberry topping, animal crackers, ice cream, pineapple topping, and little sprinkles. Quite lovely!
