Most Useless Menu Option
I've been using Mac OS X since its pre-release days when it was known as Rhapsody (DR-2), which'd put it right around May 1998. And I'm not sure when this particular menu option made its way into the Apple Menu, but it wasn'

Lunch
I order my lunch through SeamlessWeb. It costs a little more, but the cost I would incur by ceasing to bill time for 15 or 20 minutes to walk to the restaurant, wait in line, order, wait for the food and walk back to work -- far exceeds the extra
Crocs

Work and Words
I work with quite a few Indians. Their ability to construct valid sentences and correctly pronounce words varies widely in this office. Several of them who are on the low end of this ability routinely ask me questions. Not once have I understood any of these questions. My response is
Chaos
Three freakin' phone conferences taking place around me. Maddening. I pulled out the headphones and put on some Justice to help quell the pandemonium. Sanity restored.
