An irritating whine at an ad agency. Who'd a thunk it?

I have a new computer at work. Thinking about it, it’s the first time since I’ve been working as a writer that I’ve had a new one. It’s an IBM, and it’s very nice. Except for one thing: it’s making a very high-pitched whine that is driving me and my colleagues (and probably every dog in the 8th arrondissement) nuts.

I know it’s not interesting, but it’s looming large in my life this morning and I thought I would share it with you.
