The Essays of Daniel Thor:
Second Installment: Journal

Demolisher sighed as he flipped on his computer. He settled himself down into his comfy wheelie chair and swung his feet upon his desk. He revealed in the few moments of piece within the confines of his quarters while the computer whirred steadily, finally coming online.
Demolisher went back to the web site that he had been at before the interruptions the previous day. The little cartoon cat head with anime happy eyes (ie: ^__^ type of smile) bounced around the screen.
"Konnichiwa!" Its smile widened.
"I don't have time for you, you little pest." Demolisher grumbled. "And why are you speaking Japanese if this is an English course!!"
He chased the icon around with his mouse. The cat shed digital tears as it ran in circles trying to escape the pointer.
"Gah!" It gave a cry of defeat as it was clicked upon. The picture of the human girl appeared on screen.
"Welcome to administrations. How may I help you?" The uniformed girl asked of him.
"First off, can you see me?" Demolisher typed into the keypad. It took a few moments for the girl to respond.
"No sir. We like to respect people's privacy. However, in order to make you experience here as easy as possible we like to present you with a visual picture of our online helpers as a sense of security. And also to make sure the registration and study guides are as user friendly as possible."
Demolisher released his breath that he did not know that he was holding. "Whew! That's a relief." Demolisher said out loud to himself.
"According to our records, sent to us by your correspondent company, your name is Daniel Thor and you wish to pursue a career in English, is that correct?"
Demolisher thought a moment before sending a reply. "I guess so."
The redheaded girl in the dark blue uniform smiled brightly. "My name is Cindy. I'm here to help you in any way I can."
"Then can you tell me what was the deal with that stupid cat thing?" Demolisher typed furiously.
Cindy sweat dropped. "That's our 'greeting cat'. Personally I think it's a stupid idea, but our supervisor's daughter came up with idea, and the graphics, so we're sort of stuck with it."
"Ah, I can sympathize." Demolisher comforted, knowing all to well the grip one's leader or supervisor has on one's job and future.
"So, anyway, what can I do for you, Daniel?" Cindy crossed her legs in a more comfortable fashion as she adjusted her headset.
"Well, get me started on my courses. I don't know what to take." Came the reply.
"Well, let's see, you want to start off with something easy?" The Cindy's bushy pigtails bobbed as she searched through a file cabinet in the depths of her desk.
"Sure."
"Okay." Cindy smiled, coming back up from desk. "I think I've found the perfect starting assignment. This will just be a little thing to help us gauge where you are and what you need to work on."
"What do I do?" Demolisher questioned.
"I'm sending the assignment right now via-email. If you have any questions feel free to come back to ask. When you are finished, follow the link to turn in your work. Good luck!" The girl smiled brightly as her screen faded out.
"Uh. Okay..." Demolisher sat stunned in his quarters, unsure of what to do.
"Ping!"
"You've got mail!"
His computer informed him. He quickly opened the file. It was a video image.
"Demolisher! Get your aft down here immediately! Why weren't you responding to my hails? What have you been up to?" The videophone image of Megatron glared untrustingly in Demolisher's optics.
Demolisher was so startled that he fell backwards in his chair.
"Get up you lazy bum! There's work to be done! A mini con has been detected on Earth!"
"Uh, yes sir. Right away sir!" Demolisher saluted smartly as he picked up the fallen chair.
Demolisher shivered as he walked down the hallway to the warp gate. "How does he know my email?"

Dum-dum-dum! Like it? Hate it? It doesn't matter to me, as long as you review it! ^___^ hey, that rhymed. Anwyhoo- thanx you guys sooooo much for the reviews.
