Now that you finished the projects you had, and still no one has come back to work, the days get long for us Short Straw People. Dead Week crawls by, and we're still stuck working.

Did you know Windows automatically changes existing screen savers at the stroke of midnight on New Years Day? That's what you can tell the cat lover who's kitty screen saver changes to motorcycles. The same explanation works on Ohio State football fanatic who turns on his (it's always a him for Ohio State fanatics, isn't it?) computer and sees a Michigan background on the screen.

You, of course, can't stop Windows Automatic New Year Updates, so none of this is your fault. Besides, you'll be hiding somewhere working on a server or something early the day everyone finally wanders back in from their lovely week or 10 days of time off. While they're at home relaxing, find a good hiding place.
