There is a new virus... code name is "work." If you receive "work" from either any of your colleagues, your boss/manager, or any one else via an e-mail, do not touch "work" under any circumstances.

This virus wipes out your private life completely. If you should happen to come in contact with this virus follow these steps:

1. Put on your jacket and take two good friends and go straight to the nearest pub.

2. Order three drinks and after repeating 14 times, you will find
that "work" has been completely deleted from your brain.

Forward this virus warning to at least 5 friends. Should you realise that you do not have 5 friends, this means that you are infected already by this virus; and "work" controls your whole life already.

PS I have the latest version of the anti-virus programme called Skive, if you are interested!

This one's not a hoax and we have no cure for it. That's it, the end of computing and the internet is nigh.
