Some Time Off! Hooray?

Well, it's been a while since my last post - sorry! You know how the whirlwind gets cranked up to insanity speed during the holidays. Well, the last Christmas musical is over (1 for work and 1 at church). They both went really well. My involvement was very doable - it was just the time required. The kids were involved in both musicals and did a super job - cute as buttons too! I had a second laptop die out from under me recently - how dare I try to upgrade my anti-virus software! Both Trend Micro and McAfee really let me down - in fact, they both suck pretty bad in my opinion right now. Trend micro started it all w/ a free upgrade offer that I finally succumbed to. But you have to uninstall the old version first! So after 8 hours of trying to download the new version finally produced nothing - I was left without ANY protection. Their normally helpful support line was completely useless so I gave up and went out and bought McAfee at a local store. It didn't load too well and I had to do it 2 or 3 times. It seems slow and a little unstable. Finally, it crashed and locked up my whole system. I can't even restart in Safe Mode! But because I said "I accept" McAfee won't take any responsibility NOR can I even talk or email someone w/ the company w/out paying more than I paid to initially purchase the software. They wrote the book on highway robbery! They totally suck bilgewater!
SO, screw all this- I'll just use my Apple laptop from work for a while. With only about 100 known virsuses written to infect Apple computers, most Apple and Mac users I know don't even have antivirus software. I am not too comfortable doing that but I won't be buying McAfee's Apple version that's for sure! They suck!
So now, with our Christmas shopping done I now get to try to work ALOT on the credential class I have to take on teaching reading. Sorry, but I cannot make myself stay interested in the class. I NEVER, EVER want to teach reading - UGGGHHH!!
SO, though the 2 weeks off for Christmas is cool - I sense it will be over all too soon and I will not have had much time to enjoy myself too much. Maybe I can spend an hour at the gym each day this way though! That's good!
