What Was Supposed To Go To HR

I climb into the workroom, the elevator is broken and I barely got up the steps to the 7th floor. In my hand is a thumb drive. I was told to give it to HR immediately. Immediately could wait. I plopped myself down in a surprisingly comfortable swivel chair. I set the thumb drive on the table and log into the computer. The black, sleek thumb drive threatens me to plug it in. Staring at me and taunting me until I give in. The usb ports are all under my desk so I reach down and feel for one. The thumb drive resists a little bit, but a nudge helps it click in.
Suddenly, the table stars to move. My desk is the only one shaking like this. But strange enough, nobody looks over. Suddenly, I drop into a chute and dive into darkness, table and everything.A pair of buttons appear before me. One purple, one red. I don't want to wait until something gets me, but I also don't want to choose before someone comes to explain what these buttons will do.
I decide that it was a smart idea to press the purple one since red buttons are usually associated with bad things following. The button doesn't come back up after I press it, But the table fades away into the darkness. I can't see anything in the room, even when my eyes have adjusted.
After five minutes, a little toy monkey comes, with a post-it note on its back. The post-it note says only one thing


WRONG DECISION


Before I know it, the monkey disappears and something grabs me from behind, hand over my mouth, and in the other hand, a frying pan. I feel a sharp pain in the back of my head and then everything is black.
