Must be Monday
Steps to have an interesting Monday morning:
- Arrive at work to find that your coworker's door has been locked from the inside
- Realize that nobody in the office has keys
- Push up the ceiling tiles in an attempt to drop a book over the door through the ceiling to knock the door handle
- Realize that the gap left by the ceiling tile inside the office is too small for the Inside SQL Server 2000 book you planned to drop in
- Find extra cables (you're a tech company, of course you have power cords, PS2 cables, etc. lying around)
- Chain them together, with the power cable at the end tied into a noose (why do you know how to tie nooses? Two words: rock climbing)
- Spot through one of the windows along the tops of the office walls while the coworker lowers and swings the noose contraption around
- Proclaim "now!" at random intervals, sometimes when the noose is actually around the door handle
- Watch as the noose slides off the handle again and again, though eventually it will catch fast
- Witness the door handle turn slowly- so slowly- until the door pops open
So where have I been? Let's just pretend I've been locked in his office this whole time. More posts on administrative functions of Team Foundation Server coming, starting later this week!

I'm thinking we've got a new interview question here - a bit more "hands-on" than our typical whiteboard problem, but definitely a team-building exercise if I've ever seen one!
