Come on get off my back. Leave me alone!
I am getting intimidated by the
demanding and commanding nature of all with whom I have association these days.I agree that I have requested for
a wakeup call in the morning but when I open my eyes and give a pat that task
should be considered completed. There is no need to keep calling me again and
again like a nagging child. That's one time when I feel like throwing the phone
away and teach it a lesson but only the price tag even with those sleepy eyes
keep me from doing that.
I collect all the resolution it
takes and get ready for work get into the car. As soon as I switch the ignition
on, the car starts beeping to remind me about the seat belt. I say “Thank you
very much” and move on. As I continue with my journey, there it goes again
beeping at a much higher pitch. I say “shut up!” you did your duty now let me
too have some rights to decide. It gives a damn and keep beeping which I ignore
for some time and finally give in as the score goes love - two.
I reach office and try to access
my email account but the server reminds me change my password. This is the
single most important aspect for me being the communication lifeline, I decide
not to mess around and key-in a new password which is easy to remember. The
server object saying it’s not secure enough and instructs me to use special
character, numerals in addition to alphabets. I somewhat complicate my
otherwise simple character to create a password strong enough for their taste
and satisfaction. Score goes Love - three.
Now it wants my mobile number so
to ensure even more safety and I punch in the numbers eager to get along with
my work. But now it tells me that a code will be sent to my phone and it does
after a while.
The first mail I check is a
promotional one luring me to buy something from somewhere. I bite the bait and
head for the mega sale on the Apps. Now the app wants to do is check my
location. That's purely an intrusion into my privacy and get worried about the
grip the one who woke me up in the morning is trying to have on my life.
“Come on, get off my back! Let me
alone!” I murmur before I get going with the daily work routine.
Last score of the morning: one –
three. Game paused.
Hahahaha! Good one.
