2017-05-13 Rerun commentary: Other people have this thing, right? Where one thing happening at the start of the day basically makes it impossible to concentrate on work for the rest of the day?

On another note, I'm kind of happy that Slashdot is still around ten years after this comic was written. That puts it squarely in a minority.
