This week sucks.

So far this week has been bad - very bad.

1. The Tech Snark site was infiltrated by an invasive spamming worm (where porn/spam links were inserted into posts that showed up on the feeds, but hidden on the site and I could not edit/delete them) that not only prevented me from making new posts, I couldn’t edit old posts. We were using version 2.3.3 at the time. If you haven’t upgraded to 2.5.1 - DO IT NOW. We had to backup, then completely obliterate the WordPress install to get it working again. Then we had to re-upload 2GB of show files and we’re still not done fixing it.

Seriously - upgrade NOW.

2. Chester hasn’t been eating much these past few weeks. The past two days, he’s barely eaten anything. Tim’s taking him into the vet this morning to see if there’s anything we can do so he does eat - or if he’s just dying. My poor little muffin.

I’m trying not to cry about it - but it’s really hard not to.

3. As mentioned earlier - I can’t do the bike ride. The thing is - I really want to do both. I’ve been dying (not as much as Tim has)…DYING…to see the Star Wars exhibit ever since they announced it last summer. On the other hand, the do-gooder in me wants to do the bike ride because it’s for a good cause and Jen and I would have a blast. Yes, I could just buy tickets to Star Wars for another day - but dammit, we made plans for an entire day in St. Paul, not just the exhibit, and there are no exchanges or refunds. With the bike ride, I know I wouldn’t be able to raise the MINIMUM of $750 fundraising because I suck at fundraising. Big time.

Grar.

4. I have to work until 7pm tonight for an event. Which meant I had to drive into work today. You all know how much I love driving in rush-hour traffic.

5. I forgot to take this Saturday off from Ye Olde Part Tyme Jobbe to drive down to my parent’s house to go fishing in the morning. I hope they’ll be OK with afternoon fishing. We’ll also miss the barbeque on Sunday for Mother’s Day because we didn’t find anyone to take care of the kitties for 2 days.

I need a vacation, a massage and a stiff drink. Too bad it’s only morning.
