Clippy

I am totally free right now. I have nothing to do. I still have four more hours to stay in this office. I am thinking of ways of what to do to literally kill time, but my mind has lost its creative touch. Instead it keeps ordering my body to yawn.

One of my past times is to amuse myself from ‘Clippy’, the paper clip office assistant that is sitting on my desktop. I make it do all sorts of things (basically everything it can do). Some of its animations are really cute. But I guess by the time I finish animating it a million times it feels a bit tired too.

It is still looking at me with its curious bulging eyes inviting me to explore any new tricks that I might have missed. I guess it has become my pet and wants a pat as well. The innocent eyes keep shouting that I am here at your service; I am your humble servant. Oh and look! just when I scratched my head it did too. I think we are getting closer by the minute. Oh Clippy! What would I do without you!

But the irony is that I do not use Clippy for the purpose it was created, i.e. to provide MS Word help. I hate asking it for help. Instead I have turned it into a performer who can cheer me up whenever I am down or feeling bored in front of the computer (for instance like right now). ;-)

Now I have to work a bit so better turn off Clippy for a while, otherwise it will keep bugging me. Meanwhile why don’t you all go and make friends with your own clippies. ;-) Happy Clippying!
