weird day today

I had my not-interview this morning. It lasted a whole of 15 minutes. I think basically the lady wanted to see my face once before they hired me. Unless something serious happens, I do believe this is just pro forma and I'm going to get an offer by the end of the week. I still say this is weird as hell, considering I'm ALREADY WORKING THERE, but hey, what do I know.

Spent the whole afternoon fixing a computer for a staff member of the project. Her laptop had been acting wonky and she decided to do a complete re-install. Imagine the situation. A pristine installation of XP and Office XP, on a fixed IP on the McGill network with no firewall or anti-virus… It took me 5 hours to get all the shit cleaned out of it. We're talking 5 viruses, which aren't too bad, but 487 (!!!) spyware-related files. Every time I got one out, a bunch would pop out of the woodwork. Anyway, she's happy and that's extra money for me, so it's a win-win situation.
