Still Dead Well, the computer

Still Dead

Well, the computer is. I tried the worm fix thing but I have some corrupted files that the tool can't get through and I can't delete so I have a feeling a reformat is in my future. Which is not too bad because I've been needing to clean house lately anyway.
I'm still alive though and doing better everyday.
I had an interview yesterday. They said they didn't think they needed to interview anyone else and they would love to have me join their team.
HOWEVER....the person I would be replacing has been there for a VERY long time and I guess she has this habit of getting upset and walking out. She did this Friday so they called me on Monday and asked me to come interview. Then Monday afternoon this chick comes back and asks for her job back and I think the office manager doesn't want her back but her supervisor is pulling for her because they are friends. (The supervisor is VERY talkative and told me the WHOLE story during the interview)
So, I don't know what's going to happen. If the bitch doesn't come back to work, then I have a job. If she does, then this shit is beyond fucked up.

Let's see...what else can I blog about...
Oh, the blackouts. I am SOOO glad I don't live on the east coast. I cannot imagine being stranded like those poor people in Manhattan.
It's funny how before Sept 11, we would have just thought this was an odd occurrence but now, when something big and unusual happens, the first thing I think is, "Oh no, not again." Immediately, I have that little shiver of fear and feeling of vulnerability like I did on the morning of Sept 11.
I was watching CBS and Dan Rather came on with his Texas accent and country anecdotes telling us this was not an act of terrorism and I felt fine. There is something calming about Dan Rather and my sister and mother agreed with me that it is probably that Texas accent that we relate to. He sounds a little like my mom's father and that is very soothing.

Anyway, I hope those people in the northeast get full power on soon. We are spoiled people that rely on all the luxuries electricity affords us. I don't know how long a person could go without.

There is another tropical storm in the gulf. They believe it's headed for Brownsville which probably won't affect us here too much. Storms are unpredictable though. Let's hope it doesn't decide to take a bit of a northern turn and plow right into us here.

Luckily, I can check email and visit my blog a little at my mother's house but I probably won't be doing it too often seeing as how I have to put up with my father while I'm here and that's not always pleasant depending on how medicated he is. lol
