You've Got Mail!

Ahhh, I just love it when Benny, the Voice inside my computer announces, “You’ve got Mail.” That’s the greatest. Almost as good as when I go to our mailbox and find a letter…instead of another Capital One “No-Hassle” credit card offer.

I turn the volume way up on my computer just to hear Benny. The only problem with that is… I hear a door slam every time anyone from my buddy list signs off. The slam can be so startling, that I actually jump off my chair. Then there is the creaking sound of a door opening when someone signs onto my buddy list. (Come on AOL geeks, get a little oil and fix that.) You would think that all these noises would make me turn down the volume…but nope…I am waiting to hear from Benny, the Voice…

I guess if I wanted to hear “You’ve got mail” more often…I could send myself emails all day long. But that would be totally pathetic. I would never do that…Kat is not that desperate.

Yes! Benny just announced, “You’ve got mail.” All of a sudden I feel so popular. I spy the little mailbox with the red flag up and a little letter sticking out. It shows I have 2 emails…“Yea, I’ve got mail!!! I click on it…. Let’s see...

First email…Paddle practice cancelled due to rain. (duh)
Second email…Viagra sales up. (double duh)

Just like my mailbox outside my house….lots of crap still finds me. But there is always that moment of excitement when Benny, the Voice announces, “You’ve got mail!”
