Umm... I think I broke it

I guess this is an admission of guilt but I had to tell someone. Today I decided I would work on some personal stuff of mine while at work. What made me think I could do this? First of all, my computer at work is a Mac and the one I use at home is Windows. (Please forgive me for not being clear on the differences in the two but apparently there is a big difference.) This in not the first time this has happened to me.(Incompatability issues. Hope I'm using that correctly.) Anyway, although the two computers share some of the same programs and shit like that, you can't do something on one and do the same thing on the other. For instance I typed a document on Mac's version of Microsoft Word and emailed it to myself at home and my program would not open the document. Somebody told me to save it in PDF format (whatever the fuck that means) I mean, don't get me wrong I am computer saavy but to a certain extent. I mean even you know I couldn't even add that shit to my page without your assistance. I just got so off the subject but back to the issue at hand. Umm...I think I broke it. I did some work on my computer at home and saved it to a CD. I tried to insert that same CD in to my computer at work. Big mistake. The shit got stuck. I mean it did not respond at all. This was at about 11:00 this morning. Right after the disk got stuck, I had to see a client so I had to put that shit on hold. Immediately following my session, I got back to trying to get my disk out. I tried everything and then eventually turned off the computer. Still no disk. So I emailed Matt, the computer guy. Last time I had a disk stuck, he ejected it from where ever he was. See he's the administrator so he can do whatever to your computer from where ever he is, when ever the fuck he wants to. He can read what I'm typing right now if he chose to. So Matt did not repond right away like he normally does so I called AL. Al is the graphic designer. He's good with computers and even he was at a loss. I figured the only was to get it out was to pry it open. I mean Matt hadn't responded and I needed my shit. Well this is where the story you've been waiting for comes in. I took out a pair of scissors from my desk. Yes scissors. I got to prying. At first, it seemed to be working pretty well. Or so I thought. Then the tip of scissors snapped off and went down in to the front of the computer. "Oh shit" I thought but then thought "Oh well, I need my shit." So I kept prying. That shit was not working. I turned the other end of the scissors to the unbroken tip and kept at it. "Oh shit it's coming open." I started to think but then realized that it wasn't coming open, it was coming off. Yes, I broke the front of the CD drive off but didn't stop there because you know... I needed my shit. So then I'm like, "What am I gonna do. I hope they don't notice this shit is broken before I stop working here." But how do you camoflague a propped open door that is normally closed. Who cares?? So, I see a little button and decide to push it. My computer automatically restarts and the disk comes out on its own. WTF??? I tried turning it off already. Anyway I had my shit and when I logged back on, Matt had just responded to my email telling me how to eject the disk. (Without breaking it) Oh well!!!!!!!

WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!?!?! that shit is crazy. I could have told you what a "PDF" file is and I could have told you that there's usually a tiny hole near there where you can "reset" and "eject". I can't believe you fucked their shit up like that!!! LOL!!!
wait until Lori finds out.
that bitch is gonna lose it.
and I wanna know what's on that damn CD!

That shit was funny. And FYI I started to call you first. I knew you would know but I tried the button and I tried restarting it before I broke it. breaking it was my only option. And on the disk was one of my famous unpublished stories.
