#42A coworker once walked around to my side of the desk to see what I was looking at on my screen. It was just some code that I'd written. They were surprised, and said it looked like I was staring at a picture of something truly disgusting.

May be apocryphal.

#50The best indicator for how angry I am at work is the force I hit the enter key with, and the loudness of the resulting clack.
