The Death of a Legendary Engine of Productivity
March 29th, 2007 by Brian
My work computer, which has facilitated multiple, legendary instances of procrastination has suffered a massive hard drive failure. It was 3.
Posting from my lab computer is a little bit of a pain in the ass because I can’t eat my lunch and post at the same time but I’ll figure out a way to make it happen.
I’m taking a day off work tomorrow so there may not be any posts. On Saturday there will not be a new comic as I’ll be out of the house all weekend.
This post also gets a Mitch Hedburg/Dr. Katz clip because I’ve never been one to relegate a post to “housekeeping” status.


FRUIT on the bottom, HOPE on the top… I think I like this Mitch guy.
Happy Friday! Bummer about your ‘puter! Hope the logistics of eating your sandwich in the lab are working out fer ya.
You could wear a long-sleeved shirt and tuck the sandwich up in the end of one of your sleeves, enabling you to discreetly nibble away on the sandwich. People would think you were biting your finger nails… which come to think of it, biting fingernails while having a really intense expression on your face in front of your ‘puter could indicate to others that you are deeply engrossed in work.
Cool.
I did sneak my lunch in there every now and then back in the days before I had my own office but the fear of food poisoning eventually made me start following the rules.
I keep samples of enterohemorrhagic E. coli in there so it’s no place for sandwiches
