GAHHH!!!!
spent 6 hours or so tracking down a virus on my partners computer... How does she manage to get it infected with virus?? This isn't the first time or second time or third. This virus isn't as destructive as some of the others but it basically bricked her expensive WF-7620 epson printer. I ended up scrubbing her computer of printer drivers for the epson, managed to updated the firmware of her printer to unbrick it, tried to re-enable the printer from being offline to online, which it didn't take for some time. blah blah blah...
and got it fixed after much &^%$#.
Then just the other day, the strong windstorm came and knocked over a huge oak tree onto the power lines feeding my neighborhood. When the power went out, I had instructed her to unplug everything. When the power came back, we plugged everything back. Printers is offline again and I can't get it back on line. Checked the WiFi connection and its good... control panel> drivers printers> WF7620 and it says its on line but WF7620 says its off line GRRRR....
as last resort, reloaded the original driver after, once again, I scrubbed her computer... now the virus is back. ???? reloaded the updated driver and the virus is there. Checked for virus and it says it found no virus. THE NEW VIRUS HAVE A WORK AROUND TO ESCAPE DETECTION FROM MANY OF THE VIRUS DETECTION/MALWARE DETECTION SOFTWARE.
my partner is really mad at me now and I'm uber pissed off!! I'm not a GOD you know. Besides, I don't have enough hours in a day for my own work load. And I looked at her internet connection and its UNSECURE!!! %$# me!
And oh my dryer decided to go cold. It's an older machine so I could take it apart and fix it but again I just don't have time. Most likely, a blown thermal fuse somewhere inside or burnt out heating element. I did this three times growing up for my mother's dryer. maybe four times. Oh and our furnace made a huge exploding sound and had to be replaced about a month ago... Then about a week ago, I pulled my car into our drive way, parked it, set the parking brake, shut off the engine, took my foot off the brake pedal and the little jerk from the release of the brake pedal caused the car to break traction on the ice and my car sled backwards into my partner's pkup. I didn't have time to release the parking brake, restart the engine, put it into reverse and back out, so bump it went. Have an appt with body shop next Monday to get a quote then schedule a repair date.
gawd, I wish I was 6 feet under.
