    Long coffee break, then long-lunch, then another coffee break, then go home early.

    «There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

    So, just a regular day; nothing special.

    - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

      Nah...BACON is definitely involved in the process!

      Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

        What would be the first thing you do at the office when back from a 2 week vacation?

        Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

        Tap into any email I missed, before its neccary to burn the midnight oil on some problem which is already known

            I'd either be thinking, I sure am glad I have an awesome job that I look forward to coming back to, or I'd be thinking, why am I wasting my life sitting in this cubicle, sifting through a couple hundred emails, catching up on git commits, and reviewing the latest JIRA bug reports? Marc

              I'd take a coffee and then a second coffee. Then I'd read all mails and I'd wait the end of the day. Daily routine...

                Bore my colleagues to death with my vacation tales and photographs. That is, if I can catch them...

                I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

                  Who's talking about coffee? The only civilised drink is a nice cup of tea.

                      Amen! At my previous place of employment (a startup), they asked for suggestions on how the work environment could be improved. I asked for afternoon tea and biscuits to be served on proper china. Needless to say, my suggestion was not accepted, and the company shut down soon after. I don't think there was a connection...

                        Of course there was a connection. We wouldn't have built such a large empire without tea and tiffin at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. EDIT It all went to pot once coffee was introduced. EDIT

                          Open a bunch of Remote Admin sessions, spread lovingly on all available monitors, scribble something on a piece of paper... sip on the coffee... space out for about an hour or so :cool:

                            By the experiences of many friends: visit HR and make sure you still have a job. :(

                              coffee, bacon? what nonsense are you talking about. the only sustenance developers need is chips, and maybe with a little bug sauce.
