mission accomplished

Dear Volume Controller,

For some time now, you have been getting into my computer when I’m away from my desk. I do not know why, but you have been opening up my volume control and clicking the mute box on the Wave column so that I don’t automatically know the volume is muted when looking down at the taskbar. Many times I attempt to hear something and don’t understand why I can’t…and then I check, and sure enough, you have been to visit my computer once again.

Yes, I do happen to listen to music, though not nearly as often as I would like. Since this horrible violation began, I’ve gotten your little “hint” and when I DO listen, I listen very quietly. That is why I’m perplexed about why you continue to secretly mute my volume—there’s no way you or anyone else could possibly hear my softly playing music. I do not share an office with anyone! WHO ARE YOU?!

There was a time (and even now I realize I’m questioning myself) when I thought I was losing my mind. Checking the volume has become quite an obsession for me—so I know I’m not the one accidentally muting it or anything. And there’s no way the computer is just doing this on its own. I have tried to remember to lock my computer every time I get up—to go to the bathroom, to walk down the hall, whatever—but I suppose I forgot at one point today: I KNOW the volume was normal this morning, and now upon returning from lunch…BAM! Mission secret mute accomplished.

Please stop. You are driving me bonkers. I can’t imagine how I’m driving you bonkers—the music is so low. And besides, I have great taste, if I don’t say so myself. Give it a break, Ms. Volume Controller! This is quite a little game you have going on, but I never asked to play.

Sincerely,

Your music loving coworker.

I don't mean to be insensitive, but I also think this is hillarious! You need to get a hidden camera. Actually, it would be easy to set up a webcam ;)
