When this happened it was the emotional highpoint of my day. I panicked, and then stared intensely at the message for the next five minutes, with thoughts like "oh crap i have broken the office's brand-new computer" and "i so havent saved this file yet, dont you dare crash now!" flashed through my mind. After a while, i realised that it wasnt a DOOM!DEATH!WINDOWS-HATES-YOUR-COMPUTER-ILLITERATE-EXISTANCE! kind of pop-up, but the rather more polite excuse-me-you-need-to-make-a-decision-be-a-man! kind. I resisted the decision my body makes by default when this happens at home, (ie: "man.... this makes me feel like sleeping.") and after another ten minutes went by while i glanced furtively about me, desperately looking for someone who wasnt busy and could help me, i decided to step up to the plate and clicked OK tentatively.
dude, like, NOTHING HAPPENED. HELLO? i mean im young and strong, but there are people out there who are old and have weak hearts! what kind of murderous software are you anyway? one day thou shall be repaid tenthousandfold for this evil deed! spawn of satan!
anyway, i just realised something horrifying, more horrifying than two seconds ago when i suddenly remembered i used to sing the nickelodeon "friday's cool cos there's no more school" song every friday to mellie in secondary school (woe is me! unclean lips! gah!). i am going to be working here from monday to friday until june. this was supposed to be my period of rapid growth, where i did ten million things a day and emerged an accomplished and mature woman, able to cook edible things, sew wearable clothes, play piano without making mistakes every 5 seconds, draw people that look like people and not potatoes, run every day and so look like meredith grey, etc etc. so long sweet summer. i suppose i will just have to resign to being ordinary.
