I'm having one of those days where I just feel absolutely irritable and aggravated. I have a stack of endless tasks to dig through, and the first thing I walk into the office everybody descend upon me like vultures onto dead meat, both in person as well as via IM. "Can you help me with this?" "This is not working, can you fix it?" "What does this mean?" "Guess what? I broke that, help!"
Usually I just take it in stride, believing that the more I answer their question, the more they'll learn. But sometimes it feels absolutely futile, like the knowledge is just not sinking into their heads. Or they're not trying hard enough to tough it out before coming to me. The worst is when people just interrupt me in the middle of writing some complicated algorithm just to tell me some marginally relevant stuff or to ask me a question whose answer can be easily found by the good ol' RTFM method (you can search for that acronym). The least they can do is ask me, "Can I have a moment of your time?" instead of just firing off their questions/demands like I'm their personal concierge.

I believe I owe you a rub. I forgot last night (is sheepish)
It was actually hunger talking. When I'm hungry I'm extra angry. I've been known to break furniture then.
