Oct. 12th, 2006 10:17 amI'm not a happy Pez today. The main desktop at home seems to have been hacked last night. Nothing I do could let it access the internet - I could go on IM, but not webpages. In fact when I booted the machine up, explorer.exe didn't start properly. There were some unfamiliar-looking processes when I checked Task Manager and with the little time I had in the morning, I couldn't really look into it so I copied down the names and will check them out here at work. (and I think I can still get online from the other comps at home, so if I can't find any info now, I can use the laptop or something...)
There isn't anything important on the comp that people can steal, and I make sure bank details etc aren't saved in any forms (in fact, I usually only use internet banking at work because work has better net security!), but one can never be sure, what with cookies and cache and all those stuff I don't understand. It's like your house has been broken into but it seems like nothing's been stolen, but.... flsjhfkaslfhksafhls what the shit? I almost want to call in and say "my computer's been broken into, I need a day off" because don't people say that getting the comp broken into is just as bad as getting a break in at your home? And don't people get to stay home to sort things out when things happen? **
Work is driving me nuts because I'm being overloaded. That is normally a good thing (makes me work better), but these are all tasks from different schemes and I can't keep track of so many things at one time.
sfklsdfjlskjls;fs SO ANNOYED.
** Niou: Yeah and people say gay is a sickness. Try calling into work gay.
Pez: I WILL TRY THAT ONE DAY.
[edit] Finally asked my dad if he has any connection I could use for looking for work, in a "recent update" email - well, he was the one asking "How are you getting on with your attempt for a 'sabbatical' in Japan?" first! So hm. I don't really think he'd know anyone but it can't hurt to ask...
