What is the definition of suck?
So I finally get to the point where I can use my Paid Time Off to get out of the bank so I can go home and relax, and slowly the medication I've been downing for the last three days is having some effect. I even feel ok enough to maybe join my friends for the trivia competition in Maitland as a surprise guest (all to be done after hours from normal work).
Along came Mr. Sasser.
Four hours later, and after downloading AdAware, SpyBot, and HijackThis, I finally catch most of these bastards, but they keep popping up. And I miss the trivia. I swear on my honor, if I find out someone is a creator of computer virii, I will not hesitate. I do not care if you are a stranger, or a friend. To paraphrase Ween, I'll be in the mood to kick your ass with a tire iron.
And if you are my friend, I hope you understand. This will be for all the lives and financial well-being that you've disrupted just so you can be a jackass. Got it? Great. Let's go to Denny's.
I get done with that when I realize I can't hear out of my right ear. Thanks to the cold and/or flu that I've been carrying for the better part of the week, I can't hear a damn thing. This happened the last time I had a cold; excess earwax compacted, making a wall that only two hours (hours, mind you) of irrigation was able to take care of.
So I got my own kit. I'm not going to spend $90 to go to the clinic like last time, when I really thought I was going deaf. I get home, pour some hot water, inject the bulb syringe, leave no room for pressure to escape in my ear, and promptly blew out my eardrum like a fucking speaker. And I think the earwax is still in there, but I really can't tell if it's water reverberating, or the wax is still there. I don't recall seeing anything fall out of the ear.
I should have stayed at work, even if it was bird flu or SARS. Thanks to idiots who aren't me, as well as the idiot within, this beginning of my Christmas break:
Worst. Opening.
Ever.
