Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for January 10, 2025

That has happened to me before too.

Well, the rest of the day is going to really drag on after this.

I hate when that happens! And always on a big project!

Does this ‘link’ to some story I havn’t read?

Does Rita have a new pet?

Cntrl-S stands for “Savor”.

Oh yeah. Reminds me to click and save the work I was working on before I went down the GoComic rabbit hole … darn, too late!

Another plus for modular computers…the monitor loss wouldn’t stop keyboard commands to the tower for saving to a Raid array, with external drives perhaps. These days even optical fiber lead length might hamper speed, but still get the job done.

Wonder what computer-flavored beastie tastes like? Roc?

Maybe 15 years ago, I was housesitting. I brought my desktop with me but left my UPS at home. I always have too much unsaved work on my desk. A derecho came through. As winds picked up, I decided to put the computer into hibernate and pull the plug for a while.

Everything was fine while it was saving the work for me. I crawled under the desk to pull the plug. Power glitched. The computer decided I wanted to wake it up. It reloaded everything and before it finished, power went out for a few days.

SO CLOSE!

They have an unreliable network and should be saving work off-site frequently.

That’s what happens when they forget to lock IT’s door.

Big dog.

Hackenschmidt and Yakamoto (the Accountants of Fortune™) both agree: this “Bring Your Pets To Work Day” has gotten out of hand.

My “dog” ate my homework?

Oh, Ed is going to wish he had this excuse. But, chances are, he’ll use it anyway.
