Does it have to be so difficult???

Mom's Norton Anti-Virus subscription expires this month. I've re-subscribed in the past over VPN with no problems. Those days, as it turns out, are way over. After several tries and much pain, I finally figured out that we can no longer resubscribe that now she has to upgrade. Ok, but is that easy? NO. The Symantec website doesn't like her credit card number. I won't even go into the next painful steps.

Finally I ordered 2004 from another vendor and am having it mailed to her. I'll then hire someone to go install it or walk her through it. I need this shit after a 10 hour day fighting the software at work. GRRRR

Oh and then I get home and according to the local evening news, I have ovarian cancer. I have all of the symptoms they listed. They didn't mention how much time I have left. Hope it's enough to get Mom protected against computer viruses for at least another year.

And, Roger Clemens is pitching against the Mariners. Last year, every time we got close to him, we had to hear all about how it was going to be his last time pitching in this ballpark, last time pitching in in that ballpark, last time pitching against the Mariners, last time pitching in this pair of underpants. I was SICK of it. Then the sonofabitch didn't even retire.

So, tonight we go through it all again.

And, while I'm bitching and moaning, I would just like to say, for the record, not everyone thought he was our most beloved and revered president and I'm really tired of hearing that everyone did.
