More viruses this week at work which kept me busy. We got the SoBig virus on the email computer. I was able to clean it up pretty easily using the Symantec removal tool.

I have to be really careful how I approach these kind of things with the staff. If I’m not careful, they are likely to panic.

I try to explain what has happened and that we can fix it quite easily so they don’t get too worried. They start to think every problem with the computers is because of a virus.

They also jump at any reports in the media or emails abou viruses which are often sensationalised or hoaxes. They then talk to other staff it ends up in rumours spreading which is detrimental for promoting a sense of control of their technology and processes.

Two of the email sessions this week were cancelled which was disappointing, both due to staff being busy. I held two on Tuesday and they went well. It was a pretty easy workshop to run.

Kanha, from WMC who has been assisting me with some of my work so I can transfer skills and knowledge to her, and I this week we went round to the departments and updated the computers with the latest anti-virus software updates. I was pleased with the progress there.

Thursday and Friday nights were good - for Sonia’s birthday. On Thursday, Sonia and I had a manicure and pedicure then we met Ana at a French restaurant with a great atmosphere. As usual I am amazed at the abundance of excellent places to eat in PP.

Friday night - we started off at the Elephant Bar at the classiest hotel in PP, the Le Royal (Raffles) built in colonial and modern style. It is a gorgeous bar and has a cocktail happy hour every afternoon, two cocktails for the price of one. I tried a Black Russian, hadn’t had it before, delicious.

We followed the drinks with a fantastic dinner at The Riverhouse restaurant, an upmarket place by the river. I had a steak with potato mash and blue cheese sauce, divine. Steaks are such a luxury here, the few times I have had one, I have thoroughly enjoyed it.

I’m off to Seeing Hands in 20 mins. Being very lazy today - hoping to go and eat corn later this afternoon.
