Journal Astreja's Journal: Alas, poor Dilbert... 2
I'm in mourning. My "Technology: No Place for Wimps" coffee cup just committed suicide on the office floor. Fortunately I hadn't made it as far as the coffee room, so the mess was minimal.
Ironically, five minutes before the tragedy, I had successfully carried the cup *and* the backup job *and* a ten-pound UPS upstairs with me.
When I lost Dilbert I had just finished tutoring a user in basic Excel and was standing in a clear space in the office. Then, for no apparent reason (besides Monday morning), my hand spontaneously opened up and let go... I watched the cup fall in slow motion, like in a bad movie: "Noooooo!"
(dries eyes) Oh, well. I have a very nice penguin cup at home...

For me, a metal cup would be a baaaad idea. I'd be rattling it on the bars of my cell, which would wake up the librarian down the hall.
