Try to be hush-hush about it until monday, though you have the entire weekend to dwell over it :sigh:

A company I used to work at, did that all the time. The "we'll get some pizza tonight" didn't fly for long.

I hate it when I'm hot-in-the-middle developing something, I haven't saved a line of code, and my cutest-little-girl-in-the-world granddaughter hits the reset button on the front of my dev box.

I hate it when the guy in the next cubicle kicks his power strip out of the wall and I loose all the power I was stealing from him :)

You've explained all the details of the bug that has been hunting you for hours and they just sits there, looking inappreciative... and then I remember -- The dogs never passed the programming course...

...an app that was built using standard mechanisms like ctrl-z to mean something different.... Typing a note in our change control system... unlock the record, start typing the note... "oh, that's not what I wanted, better undo" Nope. It undid the record change. Start over.

Happened here just the other day... the guys with desktops had to stop, I chose to stop, to watch the lightning storm of course. :laugh:

This statement is false.

Better yet (better than my last post, not yers) When your learning for the first time that VisualStudio doesn't use Alt-F2 to bring up the bookmarks dialog, but your laptop does to short-circuit reboot.

This statement is false.

Last year, I dropped my TV remote onto one of my computer power strips...about 30 minutes later, I heard a beeping...which turned out to be the UPS feeding my computer and monitor...only then did I realize that the remote had hit the power switch and turned off the main power strip... :doh: Steve
