So I Do a Little Microsoft

So I do  a little Microsoft, I can handle it. 
After all they sell it on the streets and it's advertised in the press and on 
television, so it can't be that bad.

No effort at all, the nice man who brought it in did the works for me, man what
a fix, he made it look so easy. "You only pay for the system we give you 
everything else for free". He said with a smile.

I felt the rush straight away, wow all those colours, heaven I thought as I got
to work surfing the Web, printing pictures, writing letters. That evening I 
leave work happy.

Hm seems a little slower today, can't think why, must be me, log on to the 
Microsoft Web Page, aha, need to update my software, download and install, that
should solve it.

Boot up OK, no wait an error message, what's this ????? "Mouse Driver not 
found, press Left Mouse Button to continue" HUH !!!  I'll reboot.

Boot up OK, ARGGHH............. another error message "Keyboard not found, push
F3 to continue"  sigh.................... reboot.

Error messages all the time, can't understand why, haven't produced any work in
hours, starting to get anxious, sweating a bit, hm head aches as well.

Call the Microsoft help line, "you are in a queuing system, please wait and you
will be attended to shortly", I wait 40 minutes listening to some awful music, 
my boss comes in, "hey I'm waiting for an important call" he says, I put the 
phone down, the call never comes, another job opportunity missed I guess, sigh 
!!!.

I don't feel well at all, my boss is not happy, must do something, Call the 
Microsoft help line again, "you are in a queuing system, please wait and you 
will be attended to shortly", I wait 40 minutes listening to some awful music 
and then have to rush outside to be sick, I go home and go to bed.

I'm covered in sweat, my hands are shaking, my head throbs, " Oh please God 
work today" I mutter in prayer, YES !! full boot up, now to catch up on 
yesterday, feel much better, oh oh ! that's strange, the printer wont work, 
error message " Printer Driver not found or corrupt, please download and print 
latest help file, I'm sweating again and there is a throbbing pain behind my 
eyes.

So I do  a little Microsoft, I can handle it. 
Call the Microsoft help line, "you are in a queuing system, please wait and you
will be attended to shortly", put down the phone very gently, my head pounds, 
I glare at the useless machine in front of me in anger and frustration, wait a 
minute the guarantee, I'll call out the engineer.

Call the Microsoft help line, "you are in a queuing system, please wait and you
will be attended to short..", SLAM !!! down the phone and start weeping.

That's it into the bosses office, straight in without knocking, it's quiet, too
quiet, he's slumped back in his chair, the handle of a letter opener jutting 
out of his chest, he's quite dead, suicide !!!, he's killed himself. Even 
though I feel numb I notice the message on his monitor screen.
