Best Error Message Ever

Do you ever have one of those days when you just can't get into it?

Today was one of those days for me.

My job goes in phases. For months I go off the radar and work with clients on designing their spaces and putting together drawings and specs. Then the job goes out for tender, we get a contractor and I manage the construction.

Then I get another project and it starts all over again.

Right now I'm finishing up a project and starting to go off the radar. I've started drawings for a new project which means I'm basically at my desk all day long. The phone doesn't ring, I have no meetings, I'm not going to site.

This is fine - it's part of the job, but I wonder if the transition isn't getting to me. Today was brutal. I was starving at 9:30am.  Music didn't get me going which is unusual. I decided to have a big lunch and that still wasn't enough - I had to get a coffee.

Error messages like this don't help either.


Although, I have to say - this is my favourite error message ever.

Haha.... SolidWorks has that message too. I like to think of it as almost like when you come home and the cat is looking at you funny - you know something bad has happened, but you don't know quite what or when you will step in it.

You guys - it's so mental - I think when I hit 'ok' it just shut down. UglyMonkey - that is soo awesome and yes, totally similar.
