A deep and low moan drifted through my office doorway which were followed by a few angry words. Shivers ran up my spine and my palms started to sweat. I knew this was coming, I had dreaded this moment for several nights. A shrill voice from another room calling for help sounded. I slowly stood up from my chair and walked towards the moans of pain all the while my the my armpits were putting out as much water as a tropical storm.
"Hey, what's up?" I nerviously questioned my coworker.
"I was working on this news article and then it just disappeared. I didn't touch anything and it just disappeared." She lamented to me. "I need it back because I've already spent quite a few hours on it." She rolled away from her desk and motioned for me to inspect the article-murdering computer. I reached out and placed my hand on the mouse as my mind started to fanatically whirl with thoughts.
"Ok, it might be that she closed the file accidently. Does this program autosave? What do I do if it didn't save it? What if it was the operating system glitching? I don't know what to do if this Apple computer crashes." I felt like a ER doctor trying to save a patient and that any small error would be certain tradegdy, but then my eye caught something sitting in the corner of the screen. With my hand on the mouse I glided the cursor over to an icon sitting on the docket. There in front of my cursor was the minimized document that she thought she had lost. I clicked on it and the document spread across the screen.
"Oh, thank you Russ, you are a savior." She said to me.
"You're very welcome." I noblely responded back. I turned around and proudly strod out of the room enjoying the sighs of reliefs from my coworker. I looked down at my shadow as I walked back to my office and could see a cape flapping gallantly behind me. I returned to my work, grining ear to ear with as much confidence as a super hero because truly I had saved the day.
