The high pitched whine Of the modem screamed through my head as I went online. I was not feeling so great today, needed a bit of perking up, a bit of upliftment from some friends, someone who cared. My head pounded in time to the rhythm of the click click click of my fingers on the keyboard. I felt like growling at every person who walked in through the front door. A bear had nothing on my attitude today. The letter that I was typing dragged on endlessly. A quiet little bell signalled that there was mail in the inbox. The hope inside bubbled slightly, eleviating the headache just a tad. I minimized the 10 page letter with a heartful sigh and clicked on the bold inbox. Hmmm, seven new messages. Someone cared! I smiled a little, feeling better already. Nope, first one was trying to sell me drugs, Cialis or Viagra.. Grrr. I don't need that! Need to have a social life first. $20 off Photoshop. I already have that software. I don't need this! This looks interesting! Cindy? Hey has my buddy finally got a website! Wonder what she needs one for. I click on the link and a webpage pops up on the side. A whirring starts in the tower of my computer but I am patient and wait for the blank page to upload. A bit longer.. No seems to be frozen, I think to myself. I move the mouse and it just blinks at me in stupidity. Hmmmm, what the blazes is going on here? I hit the escape key on the board. The mouse still acts dumb. But the tower is still whirring and thinking?I Control Alt Delete once and a list of the programs slowly appears inch by inch on the screen. I select the webpage of Cindy's and delete it. Nothing. The screen retains the program listing. All of it. Including the webpage. Hmmmm. I try and move the mouse, still nothing. Now my temper is getting hot and starting to match my earlier attitude. The head starts pounding again. I notice my letter is still minimized at the bottom and I try to open the program with the start menu. Ummm, did I back it up? I can't remember as the temper is using too much memory in my mind. I control alt delete again and the program listing is back in colour this time. Which program should I choose to shut down? Ah yes, the Internet Explorer. That one is the webpages. I click and wait and wait and wait Then growl! "You have a system error, if you press control+alt+delete again you will restart Windows" NO WAY! I cannot lose that letter. I must somehow save what I have done! The screen goes blank. My mind goes blank, then blue, then red. A scream builds in my throat. My head is no longer pounding but being pummelled by bricks. My boss looks up from his desk, "What's the problem?" He asks innocently. And gets a stapler hurtling at his head in reply. I now have more than SPAM to deal with. My cardboard box filled with my personal items as I leave the building this day is the proof that SPAM is evil...
