And tomorrow I'm literally the only one in the office - out of five people.

To brighten your day, I'll call you about 10:15 to complain about my monitor that's on fire.

Oh wait, that was today, nevermind.

Flaming monitors are cool, aren't they?

Heh...been there, done that. We had someone who had had some work done in her office and had put plastic sheeting over her monitor to keep dust out of the monitor. It was left on overnight and sometime the following day finally got SO hot that the monitor caught on fire...or at least did a heck of a lot of smoking.

Then we had to explain to her that her files aren't actually in the monitor. That took awhile, too.
