Speaking of, I'm going to take this opportunity to dish up some leftover grits with black-eyed peas and spinach before our biweekly "town hall" starts
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
it's one more thing.
Definitely. It's like...I have to get up? And make a decision? And then make the actual food?

I made myself a duck salad sandwich for lunch and there is enough duck salad for tomorrow's lunch as well.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I was having a truly miserable morning - my keyboard's messed up enough, partly because the letters are worn off most of the keys (the ones I use most) and it's arranged differently than I've been used to so even looking, I have trouble hitting the right keys and a file I created last week is missing. Every time I try looking at one of the other files, I get the message that someone else has it open - usually my boss, but often enough it's "other user" ... which is weird. BUT! I went out and got a hot sandwich AND a coffee shake and life is less annoying.

Duck salad sounds good. Hot sandwich and a coffee shake also sounds good. Cryptic differently arranged keyobard and disappearing/locked files, not so good. I have had that locked by "other user" thing, I have also had it tell me a file was locked because it was being used by me, weird things happen and focussing on lunch instead is a smart move.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
The file locked thing in Windows has been flaky for 20+ years and they still haven't figured out how to fix it. I deal with consternated users all the time at work because the wrong person is listed as having the file open.

I've never had duck salad, but I love duck, so it sounds promising. I had a grilled cheese sandwich with salsa. It was pretty satisfying, in a fat-and-carbs kinda way.

hmmm ... we've had Clippy porn ... maybe "other user" porn?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"File is locked, in use by [YOU]" is always a fun one. There are also features in Sharepoint that (still!) only work in Internet Explorer.
I recently re-listened to the audiobook of Space Opera, and the scene where Oort yells at Clippy is so SO satisfying.
