Being "that guy from IT" (hw/sw desktop support for about 800-1000 computers) i see a lot of faces everyday... some a little too often So it's not by chance that today while trying to enjoy a smokebreak i was cornered by two ladies, one i'd helped out a few times when her system was pritty messed up. The other lady i hadn't seen too often asked me, "so i hear you run a little job on the side or after hours (jokingly) even got a 1-800 number or something..."
"actually it's 1-900, but that's not the point...," i said
"well i've got a problem.."
(don't you all i thought to myself)
she continued, "last night i was checking my email at home... just as i finished my 5 year old girl came in with her Lizzy McGuire cd from McDonalds wanting to listen to it, just as a popup came up on the screen. It was a naked woman with a you know what in her mouth! my daughter freaked! i'm afraid to even use the computer, can you help?
i took another drag off my cigarette and said "yeah, i could."
she said she was willing to pay me back... to which i chuckled a little and pictured the popup... a thought still fresh in my mind.
so to make a long story short... i agreed to help the poor lady out but then realized this: "if i were a single guy again... looking for a middle aged woman with lotts of baggage, i've found my edge"
yes, once again i'm happy i'm married to a wonderful woman, and even happier yet i can take care of my PC so that something like this won't happen to me, as i too will have a child, expecting Sept. 8th
please, keep your pc's clean... this is not something a 5 year old should be asking you to explain!!!!!
