The Face That Disappeared

I was doing a six week placement For work experience several years ago. Would a secretarial career suit me? This I would soon know. I was often alone in the office. I wanted to give of my best. I decided to put my ICT Knowledge to the test... There's a way to change the desktop background. This I did on the boss's screen. His was white, but large and central Was a smiley face. Lime green. I chose the plain white background. But his image was not in the list! So I had to leave it as it was. To try, I will insist! The boss and co were back. And at some point during their lunch The boss noticed the change And he had a hunch. He asked his co partner If he'd been messing around With his computer and its settings. He denied. I made no sound. " What's wrong? " He asked. " My smiley face has vanished off the screen! You know, our company logo? Mr Smiley Green? The computer has wiped him away! He's completely disappeared! " Inwardly, uncontrollable laughter Almost to the point of tears. But outwardly, I focussed On the task I had at hand. He didn't suspect me for a moment. He probably thought I didn't understand. Each time I think of this, I laugh And share it with anyone near. Did they ever solve the mystery Of the face that disappeared? Written 18th November 2021
