I'm guessing you don't have a wife who was just diagnosed with breast cancer.

Almost. Last week our boss had caught a cold, now it looks like he delegated it to me. Yesterday I mostly spent in bed, today I had to come in for a telephone conference with our customer. I would prefer to be in bed, but at least I can leave again after we are done.
Edit: The CP lottery is hyperactive today. I get some new random settings with every click.
I need a perfect, to the point answer as I am not aware of this.

Thanks, but do you really expect it to take that long?

It depends whether you have a healthy lifestyle ... and a lot of developers ... etc. etc.

I tend to tell them I can do telephone conferences from home in this situation.

Nice one! 
I did yesterdays, so I'll leave it to someone else to post the solution. Or I'll do it in four hours, one or the other...

That's two of you mentioning something about the devil.
I can tell you that's not part of the answer.

OK: SEA SHANTY.
Anagram of "He's a nasty", a Sea Shanty was a "keep in time" working song.

Technically I was out of time, but you knew I'd got it from the beginning, so I'll do tomorrows (I got delayed getting back to the computer).
I'll make tomorrow's a hard one (so it'll probably get solved in 2 minutes or less)

Hi All,
Just a final post, got home put frozen pizza in oven, had a beer put BBC news on, fell asleep, woke an 2 hours later by the smoke alarm, got burnt circle out of oven(  ). My advise don't attempted to heat food and work!

Good advice, Glenn. If it's any consolation, that's something all of us have either done, or will do, one day.

Maybe that's why my new oven won't let me simply turn it on. I have to tell it how long to stay on, after which it turns off (with a very audible signal - I set it to maximum level).
It is a hassle when you check the food, and it needs only five minutes more: I can't just leave it in there fore another five minutes and then turn it off, but have to select one of fourteen baking modes and set the timer anew. I guess I will get used to it, and do the reprogramming without having to engage my brain, within a couple of months.
Actually, I never thought of a scenario like the one you describe. It sure gives good reasons for the oven to operate that way.

never thought of making an ovan like this. Maybe the future considering microwave-ovans have been like this for decades without much huff-puff?

While we are at it: The user manual contained a list of no less than six different open source software packets (with copies of the licese agreement) used in the baking oven, among them a JPEG-package.
What the h* does a baking oven need a JPEG package for? I sort of could understand it if it gave me a menu for baking turkey, bread, pizza... with photos of all the alternatives (I really don't see the need for that - distinguishing between chicken and turkey is far easier by text than by image!) - but it doesn't. Menues are textual, other indicators are line graphics. I really wonder what the JPEG software is for!

No it doesn't. Microwaves have had + minute buttons that don't require changing/resetting any other options for years.
Your oven was just designed by an elephanting sunshine.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A few years ago, I walked out of the house, and could hear this "Beep, beep, beep" noise. Tracked it down to an elderly neighbour - it was her smoke alarm.
She had one of those "lavender pillows" you heat in the microwave for 30 seconds and put on your lap for pain relief? She stuffed it in the micro, wound the timer knob to max and went back to her chair, where she fell asleep ... And I could hear it from 100m through 2 foot thick stone walls.
Wrecked the microwave, I had to redecorate the kitchen, but she was OK. Just glad I checked her smoke alarms every month.
