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.
Now we're saving a vampire from vampires. I got two words for that -- Nuh and uh.

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.

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
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.
"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

All the things I am out of, I do still have rum. Perhaps a wee nip once I finish logging off the work laptop would not be amiss...

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Calli, it was just a very basic chicken salad but with leftover duck shredded instead of chicken. Today's was just mayo and relish because I didn't want to do any chopping.
