Facebook iPhone Virus
Recently I’d been getting a lot of pop-up chat messages on my facebook. I guess the messages were from people on my friend list who are there because of the games, cuz I certainly didn’t know their names.
Anyway, the chats were something like, “get a free iPhone, click here”. And if I didn’t already have an iPhone, I just might have clicked on that, even though I usually ignore that crap cuz it’s usually just crap. My overall thoughts were that it was spamming.
So after a bunch of these came, I was getting the message from one woman over and over again. I got pissed off and I messaged her and said, “stop messaging me you fucking turd!”.
A little while later I heard back from her with another chat message that said something to the effect of… ‘that was a virus I had and I posted it. Don’t talk to me like that, I will take you off my friend list. You’d better watch out, you don’t know who I am’. Not the exact words cuz I can’t remember them, but that was the overall message.
So I chatted back to her and said, “oooh, you’ll take me off your friend list – I don’t even know who the fuck you are you stupid moron”, and left it at that. Then I blocked her so that I’ll never hear from her again.
I guess what bugs me about the whole thing is the fact that this idiot is sending a virus around to people (inadvertently) but has the nerve to get mad at someone who tells her to fuck off because of it. Like I read her wall and found out she had a virus? I don’t normally read anything from these “friends” who are there for the gaming, most of the time I hide them so I don’t see a whole bunch of posts from strangers.
Anyway, the message is – watch out for chat messages in Facebook that mention a free iPhone. Apparently it’s a virus.
Done My Course
I just finished a three-day course downtown and I’ll actually be happy to go back to work tomorrow – I’m just all coursed out. It was a lot of information packed into 3 short days. I’m sure I won’t remember half of it, but I did learn some neat little shortcuts I can use – love the keyboard shortcuts.
Anyway, since the course was at Yonge and Bloor, I decided to take the subway down since it’s only about half an hour that way. I parked at the subway for $5/day and bought $25 worth of tokens, and, voila! There I was downtown, early. Thankfully for me there were no hold-ups like I remember happening all the time when I used to take the subway.
Tonight was the only night I had a bad time on the subway and that was because some asswipe had his music on so loud I could hear it halfway across the car. I had decided not to use my iphone this evening, but after listening to his crap, I just put my own music on to drown it out.
There was some fat woman collapsed on the stairs (which caused me to miss my train). I don’t know what happened to her, but everybody had to walk up and down on the stopped escalator while they had the stairs blocked off with ambulance workers and her laying in the middle of the stairs. What was holding us up on the stairs was all the gawkers who were over on our side making sure they had a look at the woman while we were all trying to get down the stairs. Again – asswipes.
That was about the worst of my days downtown though. So that’s not too bad. Today was so cold I ended up going into H&M (across the street) and buying a sweater. I figured that wouldn’t kill me since I didn’t have a sweater that colour anyway.
I took a few pictures, but not that many since our lunch hour was only half an hour. So I didn’t really get any interesting shots. And I would have met up with some former coworkers for lunch, again if my lunch hadn’t been only half an hour.
Let’s just hope there’s some stuff I can remember to take back to work with me. My next two-day course is in mid-September and that’ll finish off all levels of this course. I’ll be the big expert which I suppose means that I’ll then be supplied with more work to do.
