We use AOL Instant Messanger (AIM) at my work a lot to communicate. My officemate sent me an AIM this morning and I replied back to confirm her message. Then she asked me in a perplexed voice to send her a test AIM. I obliged and then she burst out laughing asking me why I had the Jonas Brothers on my AIM.
Every morning when I turn my computer on AIM automatically opens as well as the AOL homepage. Somehow I managed to accidentally click on a Jonas Brothers application on the homepage that changed my AIM wallpaper! So I hurried up and changed it to a simple daisy, sent my coworker a test AIM and that was that.
Later on in the day, the Bossman called me and spoke to me about a few payments in the system. He wanted to confirm some numbers, so in a rare move, he AIMed me the numbers. I changed them in my system and all was groovy...or so I thought.
My officemate then sent me an AIM asking about something trivial. Then she started laughing saying that the Jonas Brothers were still there. Oh, no! Oh, good heavens no! When I sent an AIM, you could see the daisy, but when someone AIMs me, like Bossman did, the stupid Jonas Brothers pop up! And they pop up huge, too, just like in the above picture!
We tested my AIM with the receptionist, too, and she asked me why I had the Jonas Brothers up.
I am utterly and completely mortified. How am I ever to look my boss in the face again when he probably thinks I'm an old grown woman trying to be a teeny-bobber?
