viral guilt

i’m so tired of this mydoom virus. while it’s been back in the news the last few days, it’s actually been running around pretty active for a few weeks now. how do i know? apparently someone i know (or who knows me) has an infected computer, and so i keep seeing bounced emails and bounces of virus-cleaned emails to people who i don’t know come back to me.

which keeps me paranoid that i’m infected. and so i keep checking my computer, and i’m not. but i keep thinking i am, or feeling guilty about it, because all these virus-laden emails are floating around with my email address on them.

and not even the hundreds of tagged emails i use for whatever websites, but my super secret personal email address.

it’s like hearing all these rumors going around that you’ve got some horrible venereal disease. only you don’t. but that’s not what they’re saying.

if only whomever started it would shut the hell up.
