First, your system decides it’s a great day to mess with your mind.
The spinning wheel of doom is pure nightmare fuel.
If it wouldn’t freak out your coworkers, you’d probably just hulk-smash the thing and go home.

But since your gear is frozen, it conveniently seems like you’re slacking off.
Dwight Schrute would be proud.
While your rig restarts, you decide to grab one of the healthy snacks you packed for the day.
Too bad the office fridge thief had the same thought.
You contemplate sending out an email blast, but you know that would be taking it too far.
You still draft it in your head and include lots of aggressive punctuation.
Now your stomach’s expecting food ASAP, so you turn to the vending machine as a last resort.
And wouldn’t you know it, your snack gets stuck.
Still, you give it a shot.
OK. You’ll have some coffee instead.
But what do you find in the coffee maker?
Just dregs of this life-giving substance.
It’s common decency to make new coffee if you finish the pot.
Then you hear a ping.
And another, and another.
They break your concentration each time.

Someone else gets in on the action and starts up a chorus of throat-clearing and nose-sniffling.
Same goes for a runny noseit’s a fact of human life.
How are you supposed to focus?!
You put in headphones to drown out the sounds and get to work.
An hour later you forget said headphones, stand up, and accidentally rip them out of your ears.
Chances are tomorrow will be better.
