For those whose mind wasn't in the gutter, work got hit with the Zotob worm around 7:30pm EST.

Ahhhhh...nothing like easy, easy money. No PC = no work to do. It meant I got to sit around until 11pm collecting the cash for zero work.

Huzzah!

And since I'm the only one here with a Win2k box as far as I know, all I have to do is wait a few days for panicked traffic to die off and then download the update from MS.

My machine is dual-boot with Windoze 2000 on it. I just never use it. Yay for Win98 giving the finger to Zotob.

Main machine is Win 2K. Updated it before the worm got loose in the wild. *ducks as bullet whizzes by*

Heheh! You'd think the IT department at work would have been on top of it. Guess not! :)

The real trick is to collect the money for not working and not even having to be there.

Haven't heard about this worm. How's it spread?

I could have done that...but, would rather not burn up my paid time off when sitting around on my duff at work, accruing paid time off and getting paid doing zip.

Here is the news blurb on it:

That' wasn't quite what I was getting at. I ws thinking more along the lines of "Go home, you'll still be paid for the rest of the day.

OTOH, I don't think your employer would ever go for that.

Hehehe! Though, since I'm no rock star, chicks don't come free. ;)

Hopefully the Saints being blown out by Seattle isn't a indication of what is to come. >.>

We'll see tomorrow night, I guess.

I bought a Saints Banner to put outside my home as a target for the smart bombs that are coming.

There is always the bag to mask your identity if the season goes down the tubes. ;)

Question is, could you get away with infecting them yourself later to get another work-free day? Not that anything so bad ever crosses our evil little minds... ;)
