Why Do These Things Happen to Me? (Don’t answer that)

When your computer says your document is locked for editing by another user, and you are the only user, you wonder how you have once again sabotaged yourself.

Not exactly a single light bulb hanging from the ceiling, but it got the job done.

I am working on investigating my actions to get to the bottom of this. I have collected the necessary items from around my house to conduct a self-interrogation. You will have to excuse me while I lock myself in the closet because it is the only room with a single light bulb in the ceiling. I will sweat the answer out of me if it kills me.

I am sitting on a folding chair so as not to get too comfortable. Where was I on the night of the 10th?

This is a stupid question, because I know I have trouble remembering what today’s date is. I’m going to have to do better than this.

A cup of water waits for me on the other side of the door if I will just offer up any information leading to the cause of this minor inconvenience. Maybe a glass of wine would have been a better idea. That always helps my memory! But alas, I have no idea how I do this stuff. And, I have discovered that sitting in the closet on a folding chair is not all that uncomfortable. I think I could actually take a nap in here – it’s dark and quiet and relatively un-distracting, save that box in the corner which I don’t seem to recall ever seeing before. It’s taunting me, but who cares, I’m going for the nap. Maybe my document will be unlocked when I wake up.
