December 16th, 2001 -
Friday was Jamie's last day... Rick was fired a week
and a half ago. He had done more to hold us up than
to help us, and now with him out of the way things should
be a lot better. Friday was our Christmas Party, I got
four eggs of silly puddy, a dart board, a laughing gingerbread
man... and a jar of jelly. I was pretty successful in
spending all of my pay check this period... Christmas
shopping really helps in doing that... and I had $200+
worth of stuff done to my car, so that really helped.
I also ordered a chip of RAM... 256MB for the Compaq
so it will be up to 384MB.

Sunday, today I went to Eunjoo's and had lunch with
her in Kansas City. She wants me to rent, or be on her
apartment lease with her, so she can have two people
staying there. I don't really know how necessary it
is, but I really don't want to, so I don't know what
I'll do.
I
just finished writing a letter to the company why I
feel Rick has not done a good job.
Saturday I went to Grandma's house and ate dinner with
her and then played cards and dominos, it was a pretty
good weekend all and all, and I got a fix for the badTrans
virus, and everything is working very good now.

After getting a letter bounced back to me from someone
my computer sent the virus to I've discovered the name
of it, and spoke to several people, one of which is
going to send me something that will hopefully take
care of it. I think things are handled until then though.

Sunday, I now must consider my first log a total loss,
it was on a drive in Tsuyoshi that got literally burnt
up, but it was the only file that I did not have a backup
of on Hirayoshi. After that I started a temporary log...
which I'll include after this entry, and then I'll try
and give a recap of the "year of hell" later.
I
got another virus today from a lady that I e-mailed
a month ago for mom. It just really sucks to get a virus.
I deleted her letter, but then got one back from myself
over the lists, and others have told me that they had
it sent to them, via me... so I went online and ran
two different virus checks, both came up negative, but
once after that I noticed twice that Outlook was being
unresponsive, and the net usage was racing, so it must
have been up to something. I'm backing up everything
now since I just have everything on Hirayoshi now. I've
already spent about an hour backing up... and now it
seems it will probably be another two hours to finish.
-Work
is going a lot better now. We are going to move to a
place in South Topeka, rather than in Lawrence. Rick
was very upset over it, but most all of us, except Jamie
are happy about it. I don't want to go back tomorrow...
after having the last four days off for Thanksgiving
I kinda like the down time. I would talk about work..
but it'll be in the recap later, so much has happened.
I'm
really pondering what my next technology acquisition
should be... laptop, digital camera, PDA, or to focus
more on building my own computer. Tsuyoshi still has
some problems from the power incident, I tried to reformat
it yesterday, and it said that it couldn't do it because
the hard disk could not be found... but it works decent
now... that is a serious problem for the future though.

Today was a big day! I went out to lunch with Beca (one
of the other art people) and when we got back to work,
Scott (the former president of the company) was outside
in his truck. Things have not been going well at work...
Since Scott with Cosmo had lost so much money, Ann (the
money lady) decided that we would not do Cosmo any longer...
So Scott was given papers to sign over the company (since
he borrowed all the money from Ann), and Cosmo is out...
And Scott was very upset... and I guess when he was
talking to Michelle (The President) he informed her
he had lots of guns... So we've had a security guard
the last couple weeks... and yesterday Scott called
in... and they told him that Michelle was in a meeting...
and he said that Michelle was avoiding him... and if
she wasn't going to listen to him... he would find another
way to get her attention. So today Scott came... and
Michelle wasn't there... and the security guard said
he could not come in... and Scott started yelling at
him and pushed him. So then Beca and I drive up... and
Scott is in his truck... so we go inside and everyone
is running around, and Matt (the other art person) and
Justin (Scott's son) told us what was going on.... And
then the Police came... Like three squad cars, and five
officers, and then Rick told us we could all go home...
So Beca, Justin and I went to Gage Park (Cause Beca
had to get a house key from Andrew) and we got to ride
the Merry-go-round for free... and then we went to Baskin
Robins... and then to the mall... and I got new sunglasses
and green hair dye! So it was a very interesting day.

Sunday, I got a specialized program to clean off the
virus that's going around, and it too says that my computers
are clean.. attempts to get the computer to read the
30GB drive have failed, so I'll take it into work tomorrow...
My main concern is my log... for it's the only item
that cannot be replaced.
I
talked to Carrie today briefly.. She said she would
even arrange and pay for my ticket. It'd be so cool
to go to Japan again, but it would be bad to be out
of work... and to have to go through looking for a job
again... but a month's vacation in Japan if things at
work fail would be nice.
I
replanted one of my Biwa today... Perhaps when the summer
is over I'll take them to work.

Saturday,
I've run virus checks on both computers to have the
net, and both came up clean. Tsuyoshi reported possible
bad sectors on both hard drives... and after running
scan disk on the primary drive with the 30GB one out,
it seems to be working fine, so now I'm pondering if
I should take it in to work or just try to put it back
in.

Thursday,
and a hectic and fast week it has been! Monday two computer
viruses were sent to me, and I think Tsuyoshi is now
infected. I'm going to wait till the weekend to turn
Tsuyoshi on again... it cannot see the 30GB drive. Dana
said he got the virus too.. and now his computer will
not even boot, and fails to reformat... I can only hope
that I will fare better. I plan to remove the 30GB drive,
and try and take it online and remove the virus... or
reformat after backing up some stuff.
I
can finally report that after all this time, Cosmo is
being "put to sleep", at least in the eyes
of Pekaniter... For the rest of the week we will be
extricating ourselves from it... and so far it's going
very good... and it's really brought about closure to
everything... so we can either begin new projects, or
go our separate ways.... there's still a little more
life left in the place though, two more weeks until
the comic convention, which will last a week, so I have
at least three more weeks of employment left I figure.
