N1H1 and my computer

My work computer has mysteriously been infected with a recurring N1H1 virus. I went to this website, downloaded stuff, and when it told me my computer had viruses, I of course clicked yes to clean them, which in turn changed my desktop wallpaper from the joyous day I jumped out of an airplane, to text, which is not appropriate to say here. It effectively told me I wasted an entire day by having to re-format my computer, and reinstall everything.

After we got that problem solved, I realized I had lost the stuff I originally was trying to download. I went back to the site and downloaded again. I was shocked when it again said I had a virus, and immediately clicked "Yes, Clean my computer". My wallpaper changed again to this mean message... I simply do not understand what is happening!

Random Thoughts...

I should put Analytics on this blog. I am both that cool, and that much of a dork.

A typical workplace conversation (with my boss)

A flippin' sweet liger!

 

Happy 1 year Liger! 

I don't know what we would have done without you!

A look back

Now boys and girls, it does take some great courage to be a Liger. Why you may ask? Not many people can walk into a Web Design firm not knowing the first thing about Dreamweaver, Photoshop or Flash. Did I let this stop me? NO! I tightened my proverbial belt, and after I learned how to open the programs (that was a 20 minute demonstration in itself), I got to work learning how to make shapes and change font colors. A self-taught Photoshop master I soon did become! Now if I could only learn to save as a version...

What I taught people

• The gym is for judging people and writing new blogs!
• Snowboarding is better than whatever you are doing right now
• Two weeks vacation time is not nearly enough
• Chipotle
• Gradients and drop shadows make any design 10 times better
• People are obnoxious
• The Cactus Moon on a Wednesday night is far more entertaining than anything on TV
• Breakfast is not as important as everyone thinks it is
• Watch out for creepers
• Indian Food
• Sex and the City is full of useful information
• Hypothetical feelings are just as useful as real ones
• Twitter is the future of everything
• Matt Nathanson rocks my socks
• Sushi
• Having a heart is for suckers
