    Okay, remember when I said that my laptop's busted? Guess what?

    It's infected with MULTIPLE viruses and trojans.

    ... I paid, like, fifty bucks for this awesome kick-ass virus protection program (Kaspersky), that's suppose to run automatic scans, updates, etc, and keep me filled in on what the fuck's going on with my laptop... Well, what did I pay for if Kaspersky never did ANYTHING? It never made a single peep. Never even notified me that it needed an update or anything.

    SO, they need MORE time to remove the viruses and trojans. Worst case scenario, my laptop's SO damaged that they might need to completely reinstall the operating system (bet that's not covered in my warranty!), in which case I have to go down there and bring them the system restore discs. Then I get to come back home and wait another few days or so.

    The viral removal and shit isn't covered in my warranty because it's a software issue, so I've gotta fork over $30 for that.

    Lemme try to think of some things I'll lose if/when they end up having to do a system restore and start from SCRATCH...

    It's not like the things I'd lose are REALLY difficult to find or anything... It's just so much trouble to get all that shit back on. Do you KNOW how long it takes to install WoW? Takes, like, DAYS. I'll have to reinstall so much that I don't even know what the hell it is now... I'll probably have to reinstall my Microsoft Office stuff... It'll probably bitch at me for a registration code again and the likes... Good thing I hold onto those boxes (though where they are is a mystery).

    So, I'll be stuck with the desktop for a while, and dad will inevitably come home and bitch if I'm on for more than three minutes at a time ("you're fucking obsessed with that computer. Do you even have a job yet? How's the job hunting going? Do you have a job yet? You know you fucking need to get a job").

    ... Sigh. Time to wallow in unreasonable depression.

    Hey, one piece of good news... Apparently, I have a Magcargo now. He's cute, and... Drippy.

    Wtf is Kasperky?

    I've never heard of it, so it doesn't sound so kickass.

    Why didn't you get something... bigger?

    Not at the moment, obviously, and not for a while.

    My motherboard and hard drive crashed a couple months back, had to specially order a system restore disk because the douchebags expect you to back it up yourself. Whatever though, was only like $10, although I did the three day shipping for $15 extra since I needed my internet fix.

    You know what REALLY sucks though? When they take it for over a month, finally return it to you, but then tell you they couldn't salvage the hard drive, which was $160, $60 of it nonrefundable.

    LIKE EIGHTY GIGS OF H GAMES, GONE. Son of a bitch, I still shed a single tear for my fallen comrades, I only backed up on my external about sixty of it before the thing died on me.
