Yesterday my computer and I both came down with viruses 
My virus began as a cough and slight running nose when I woke. After an hour at work, I had a headache, fever, and felt ill in the stomach. I left work, stopped past a pharmacy, and got back on the bus to come home. My day at work was so short that I got to use the same bus ticket to go home, which was a plus. I slept most of the day and got up when I heard my housemate Graham come home. After telling him that I was sick, I went to the toilet (still 2 rolls of poor-quality toilet paper to go. Good one, Con) and was hit by a burst of hacking coughs. Having heard the coughs and mistaking them for puking noises, Graham called through the door asking if I was okay, and later offered to take me to the hospital. I should have milked the sympathy, but set him straight that I hadn’t done Number 3s.
Having slept a bit, and having a keyless keyboard and mouse that I can use from my bed, I got on my computer.
A couple of days ago I heard the song Tingly by Pop! coming from Conrad’s room. Having loved the song when it came out ~10 years back, I got it from Con and listened to it over and over and over, to the point where iTunes shows that it is already my most played song for the past 3 months. I wanted to find out any info for the song so I started googling. The first page I went to had nothing to do with the song and my puter started going slow and making noises. As I hastened to close the webpage and open up Windows Task Manager, my Virus Scanner kicked in and told me that it had detected a Trojan Horse and did I want to cancel it from damaging my computer? Hrmmm… I chose yes.
It was a special moment between “Putey” and I. I came down with a virus, so my loyal computer did so too.
I’d like to think that if my computer ever crashes, I will be able to repay the favour.
