Countdown

Yesterday’s corner time: 4 Minutes.

I snuck into Dad’s office yesterday and hid his daily countdown to my Outward bound course, which was at 2187. Ha! Let’s see how he manages without that!

I was disappointed to see that he had anticipated this move and had three backup copies locked away in a drawer. Not only that but I also discovered that he has an electronic version stored on his PC, which pops up a happy little reminder each time he signs on and is programmed to sound a fanfare on the passing of each week.

I went to complain to Mum and she was absolutely furious. She stormed upstairs to his office and demanded to know what was he thinking? How could he be so inconsiderate? And why hadn’t she been given a copy of the electronic version?

Hmm, not quite the reaction I had expected.

I thought I’d cheer myself up by spending time with someone less fortunate than me and went in search of Becca.

Becca is becoming more annoying with each passing day. Just when I think she’s reached the pinnacle of annoyingness, she manages to surpass all expectations and takes annoying to new and even dizzier heights.

However, today I needed her. I found her in the lounge developing a countdown timer on her abacus. God, she’s annoying.

Matthew.
