Go ahead, virus me!

Yep, you can throw just about any computer problem or virus at me and I can handle it. And I'm not technical - one of those "creative types" as some people say.

Today some strange computer virus snuck onto my work computer either when I went to a magazine website (yes, a boring work one) or Pandora (gotta have my tunes). It showed up as virus protection software, but I knew it wasn't. It caused annoying pop ups every few seconds that told me all of my apps were infected.

Like all bad things in my life, it had to go. Fast.

Yawn. Computer problems may seem boring and mundane to you, but this one's significant for me. My ex thought he was god's gift to the computer. The ultimate expert. When I occasionally had a computer issue, he made sure to jump in and fix it. He made sure I knew I was stupid when it came to computers, incapable and that I had fucked up some way, some how to make the problem happen.

So, it happened. I Googled the virus name, found a reputable site with a solution and a couple of hours later, my computer was virus free. All my myself.

Looking back, I'm sure it was just his way to make himself feel important. He probably knew I didn't need him to fix my little computer problems but wanted me to think I did.

Now, just over a year later, I've proven I'm better off without him in fixing my computer and many other ways.

Love to the single girls,
