The return of the status report

Lawls:

"Continuing to determine source of beep in my office."

Quiet desperation

Day 2 begins. I forgot to turn the 'Tron off last night before I left, so it's still going today. Like clockwork, it went off during the morning programmer's meeting. Big J sighs and looks at the wall, where he now thinks the beep is coming from. "Yes, the beep is still with us," he says resignedly. "I'm going to turn everything off today and wait to hear it again. Maybe I can figure out where it's coming from." Briefly, I feel pity for him, then I start laughing and struggle to stay silent. By the time he looks my direction, I'm under control again. I screw my face up to look like a guy who's curious and amused (but not too amused) by his plight.

I'm considering switching it to the other beep today (the 2kHz one without 'static') just to mix things up. I also had fun imagining the chaos that would ensue if I could somehow get the device into his car, or even better, his backpack. "The noise-- it follows me!"

More to come.
