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.
Mal: He calls back, you keep them occupied. Wash: What do I do, shadow puppets?

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.

he he ... this morning I was listening to the traffic report and there was an accident on Montresor (? spelling?) and I kept thinking of The Cask of Amontillado.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Apple and peanut butter makes a good snack.
This was my lunch today.
I bought a bunch of meal replacement shake packets for when I need to eat but nothing sounds good/everything is too hard. That mostly works out okay, although sometimes even that is too much.
I have Clif bars for this.

I like having Luna bars around for that, but I keep running out
