"I hate my boss", went my colleague. He had just received a two-pointer 'Ordinary' on his appraisal.

"Type him a hate mail, unwind", went I. We didn't have OfficeGupShup then.

"Yes, I will."

And he typed. There were all kinds of curse-words, some invented by my pal himself, and he was absurdly creative — I'll give him that. Three hundred words that could well rewrite a dictionary. He had addressed it to the boss too, with the vice-president in the cc-loop.

"Hit send."

"Are you crazy? No" — whew, what a flip!.

"Hit send, bro — come on, he played with your feelings"

"No, dude, no!"

It was too tempting. I swear, I tried my best to control my urge to screw my colleague's ass, but I couldn't. In the end, I did it. I pressed the magic combination of Alt + S in Outlook.

Two seconds later, my colleague was rummaging through the entire data-center looking for the exchange server. He found the network cable and disconnected it.

After three hours of search, investigation and mail-server downtime, the office was finally back up and running. My colleague retained his job, and I made it to mortality too :-)
