How Bizarre

I actually did well in that computer test yesterday. :mrgreen: How do I know? Cuz they already started doing the reference checks, and today I got a phone call to tell me I was in the top something, and could I come in for the final, face-to-face interview.

So I do that on Friday at 2:00. Just watch, after passing the phone interview, and passing the computer testing, I’ll somehow fuck up the face-to-face interview and not get the job.

Regardless, it was nice to know that I’d done something right for a change, especially since this is a huge company I applied to, hence, the 60-zillion steps to trying to get a job.

Right now my computer is fucked up. I installed something the other day, I forget what it was, but it was making my computer go wonky, so I uninstalled it and it was still wonky. So I set the computer back to a day before’s restore point and then of course I couldn’t play my Painkiller game.

The sad thing about that is that I had finally gotten farther than I’d ever gotten in that game. I was up to the big wicked swamp thing and had gotten past levels I couldn’t get past before.

So I uninstalled and reinstalled and uninstalled and reinstalled Painkiller but it still wasn’t working.

I’ve uninstalled it again, and set it back to an even previous restore point and I’m going to try to reinstall it again.

What else is funny is that my Photoshop, and Photoshop Elements were also not working… telling me that I didn’t have the right identification or something, and they used to work.

Also, I can’t add or remove programs from the Control Panel – there’s no icon to remove them, just a link showing whether they’re frequently used or not. Oh, pardon me, I can remove some of them, but not most of them. So I’ve got to look this stuff up on the net and see if I can find a solution to this.

Otherwise, I may be looking at the dreaded reformat. It’s been months since I did that. And it’s a pain in the ass if I have to do it yet again.

Anyway, that’s my day. I never heard back from the guy from Monday’s interview who said he wanted somebody to start Wednesday or Thursday and would be contacting me. Thanks for the contact you big dickwad. I hope you hired someone useless. :eek:
