Can you help me with something? It’s kind of embarrassing.

So first off, I have no idea how it happened, but I got this virus thing on my computer and it’s really messing me up. Can you take a look at it and maybe help me delete it? Well let me show you: it happens every time I get on the internet. Just fire up IE6.

What? It’s the browser I like and it works the best!

Anyway, I normally don’t look at anything like this so I have no idea how I got this, okay? But it instantly opens all these pop-ups to these sites: bears with cupcakes, adorable whales, cute little pandas, a rainbow-spouting elephant, ugh!

So you can fix it? Really? Oh my god, that’s so awesome. I will totally buy you lunch or something; nevermind that your normal billable hours would be roughly six times that.

Just for future reference, so I can block it or something, do you know which site gave me the virus? I mean I’m not going to visit it, I just want to know.

Wear this shirt: If you’re an adorable IT gal solving networking issues and looking cute doing it.

Don’t wear this shirt: If you’re one of those surly IT types who’s only trying to make life regret choosing you.

This shirt tells the world: “Why yes, I do have very large stack variables. Thanks for noticing.”

We call this color: Alt-Ctrl-Grass
